A simple start

Okay, first things first--a mission statement as it were. I like to cook; I think other folks might be interested in a recipe or two I've acquired and/or created over the years, and I figure this would be a good way to disseminate recipe information, hints, opinions, and vitriol. Over the duration of this experiment, I should have enough recipes gathered together to form, perhaps, a cookbook. With comments already in the margins, if readers are so inclined.

So, without further ado, let us begin.

Black Bean Dip

This dip is ridiculously easy, and yet enormously popular. The only variation that my wife consistently suggests is doubling the amount of cheese, if only to actually make the dip as unhealthy as it tastes.

1 16 oz can Black Beans
1 16 oz jar salsa
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3-4 green onions, chopped (white and green parts)
black pepper to taste

Dump everything in a bowl, mix, and serve with tortilla chips.

Notes:
1. Take heed--this is the last time I will specify that you use the white and green parts of green onions.
2. It gets harder from here.
