Drain The Water Heater

Happy Saturday! This is the soup I took to lunch at work this week. The recipe is basically 2 cans of black beans, garlic, cilantro, scallions, chicken broth, chicken (or sausage will work even better if you dare eat sausage),cumin, lime juice, and when the soup cooks for 15 minutes you can use an immersion blender to puree some of the black beans. This recipe is both delicious and heart healthy.

About a year and half ago I had a new hot water heater put in but I have never drained it. Since the day is overcast and I was working in the yard anyhow it seemed like a good time. I know... not the most exciting plans for a saturday but it is dreary out. Next I'll garden and rake the leaves. Woot!

In a couple of weeks I'm going to meet the dogs I'm looking at for a litter. In the meantime here is another one of my Coda pics from her puppy days.
