First, pour a glass of whatever wine we have left.
This is not for cooking but for lubricating the cook.
Next, pick appropriate tunes; tonight, since we are making rice,
we will be listening to Yolanda Perez,
Aqui Me Tienes.
Next, chop up one onion and two big cloves of garlic.
Sautee these in olive oil, add chili powder, salt, pepper,
oregano, basil, more salt, cumin, turmeric, a hint of cinnamon.
Chop up some mushrooms. Add a can of black beans.
Then arborio rice, stir around to coat it really well.
Water covers all. Stir. Drink wine. Dance. Adjust. Later, eat.
