Sunday night
After losing track of time this morning and nearly being late to church–I arrived just in time and covered in sweat thanks to my power walk from the Metro
— it was nice to embrace the laziness of Sunday and just… BE.
Simone, Zoe and I originally planned to meet for coffee at U Street Cafe but apparently everyone else in DC had the same idea because it was packed. So… when it doubt, turn to Starbucks.
Simone is back in school to get her Masters so we all embraced the student lifestyle with iced coffee and books. Ideal way to unwind.
I’ve been craving Mexican for a while now and made some easy black bean & corn salsa just now — it will be perfect on a tortilla with some avocado for dinner in a bit.
Really simple but full of flavor: 1 can of black beans, 1 cup of frozen corn (you could use fresh, too, but frozen is cheap and easy), 1 tomato, 1/2 a yellow onion and a heap of fresh cilantro. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp of cumin and chili powder to taste.
Stir and serve. Although if you’re using frozen corn, let the salsa chill in the fridge for a bit before eating so the corn has time to defrost, natch.
Now I’m happily lounging on the couch, watching a live stream of the Emmys red carpet online (for work, I swear! I have to find out who George Clooney’s date will be for a story
).
How are you spending your Sunday evening?



I had lovely Sunday night with a book and sofa
Sounds ideal!
