Tortilla Soup with Black Beans
The sun is streaming down as the bugs bite and the birds chatter; They say it’s going to be hot today followed by late afternoon thunderstorms. Are you a fan of thunderstorms? An afternoon thunderstorm after a hot day instigates both a rush of excitement and simultaneous coziness, so naturally, I am a fan. Also, thunderstorms [...]
