My husband came home from work awhile ago (the email for the recipe was from September 6) talking about this Black Bean soup his friend made and how good it was. I have never had black bean soup so I wasn't too quick to make it. Well I finally decided to try it, almost 5 months later. It took me 3 hours to make it and I don't really care for it. It's not bad but I won't be going back to have another bowl. Bob said something is wrong and some flavor is missing. I don't know what to tell him, I followed the recipe to a tee. We are going to have to talk to his friend to see what I did wrong.
I hope he can tell me what I did wrong because I would like to enjoy it as much as Bob did. Maybe he is one of those people who keeps one ingredient out of the recipe so others won't have his "secret recipe". Why do people do that? I never understand. My grandma makes the best pie crust. But she won't tell us the recipe, she just laughs when we ask for it. My Mom says she bets it's a store bought crust. I hope not! My cousin was given the recipe so when the time comes that gram can't make it she can. Maybe she will hand it out. So to all my friends and family, if I like something you make please give me the recipe, the WHOLE recipe.
Tomorrow I am going to write about the Coco Lite Multigrain Pop Cakes from Wegmans. I have noticed that some of you have never heard of them. This is a product you will always find in my house and I have many ways to eat them.
