full of beans

On Thursday I invited my friend Jennie over for dinner. Did my usual caraotas refritas (refried black beans) dinner -a take on a traditional Venezuelan dish. It involved, apart from the beans, rice, plantains both ripe and green in a few different ways, cassava and arepas. The whole thing took about three and a half hours to prepare.

I hope she liked it! The pictures have proved rather popular on Facebook. I don't invite friends over for dinner that frequently these days, maybe I should do this more often.
