My first recipe submission:

Good Times

2 bottles Single Malt
5 close friends
3 hours good music
liberally mix with good conversation, steep to inspiration, mellow to cool, repeat as needed.

A favorite of mine is "Blast Off Beans." They'll keep your pleats dancing in your own wind for a couple days.

Two cans of refritos (refried pinto beans)
A couple sticks of butter - think that's 1/2 lb.
A head of garlic (the whole assembly of cloves, not just one clove)
A white onion
About a pound of Monteray Jack cheese
A bit of chili powder
Some sea salt
Some Black Pepper

Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet.
Crush or chop up all that garlic, toss it in.
Chop up the onion, toss it in.

Saute' the garlic and onion until they're soft
Add the refritos, keep on low but hot enough to just bubble the beans.

Shred the cheese and add it to the beans, stir it in.
Season with just a little bit of chili,
Add black pepper and sea salt to taste, stir in.

Let it all bubble up together for a while.

Serve hot with blue corn chips.

Put the leftover in the refrigerator, reheat it tomorrow, its even better.

It'll keep your pleats moving.
