Ingredients: 1 Box Near East Curry Rice; 1 Box frozen spinach; 1 cn Black beans; 1 cn Diced tomatoes (slightly; Drained)

One little lie leads to another, and pretty soon you’re telling whoppers. To soothe your sense of guilt, you lie to yourself too. Maybe you tell yourself you’re not really lying but just “repackaging the facts.” Maybe you take up the motto “You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.” Maybe you repeat false philosophies you’ve heard in the classroom, like “Acts must be judged by their consequences.” Or maybe you just make excuses: “I know the end doesn’t usually justify the means, but my case is special.” Before long you’ve told so many lies that you can’t even remember the truth. Worse yet, people who forget the truth usually go on the forget the Truth – and I think you know Who I mean!

INSTRUCTIONS

I might have posted this before, but one of my favorite brain-dead foods
(outside of spaghetti), is to take one box of Near-East Curry Rice and cook
according to directions, without the added fat.  While that is cooking,
microwave 1 frozen block of spinach (for some reason fresh spinach doesn't
taste as good to me in this recipe -- and takes longer unless already
de-stemmed and washed).  When that is done, drain and set aside. Nuke 1 can
of black beans, drained and rinsed, and 1 can of diced tomatoes (minus some
of the juice), mixed together (generally for about 3 minutes).
When rice is done, mix spinach, rice, beans and tomatoes (generally in a
large bowl).  Snarf.   Not only does it taste good, but it's really
colorful with the yellow rice, black beans, red tomatoes and green spinach.
Very satisfying.  Even my almost-3-yr-old loves it.
Approximate total time: 25-30 minutes (time to cook rice)
