Basic Beans and Rice

I cooked some brown rice today and ate it with the black beans I made previously, with cumin, coriander, basil, dill and sea salt stirred into the beans, which I heated in the microwave. I added raw sliced tomatoes and chopped onion on top of that. It makes a good, basic hearty legume and grain dish. The chopped raw tomatoes and onions are something my husband puts on top of his rice and lentils. [He also adds quantities of olive oil. When it comes to excessive oil you can just leave me out.]

I'm pondering signing up for a Cornell University online class based on the book The China Study by T. Colin Campbell.

With prayers and with support from friends at work I'm feeling less like a target is on my back with this planned rearrangement of hours and duties of the charge nurses, and having to reapply for my own job. I'm realizing it may not just be about Me, Al Franken. I'm not crazy about it, and I don't know what will happen next, but I'm not being assassinated by my own adrenaline.

This sounds silly, but I bought a coloring book [adult level] the other day.

What's wrong with the world when the word "adult" has lost its innocence and has come to mean "pornographic" or "virtually pornographic'? A perfectly good adjective has become unavailable, hijacked by the entertainment industry.

Also studying the Kitab-i-Iqan with a study guide.
