Mexican Bean Salad

   On Saturday,even sun was on a holiday.It was a gloomy morning with light drizzling.What an awesome weather to enjoi :) Gez wat??? My hubby was also at home apart from his usual saturday morning schedule of playing cricket.We were lazing around and watched IPL match.RCB Vs Knight Riders,superb sixers from  Uttappa. After match, I asked him whether he would prefer to have Mexican cuisine at home.Well the answer was a big 'Yes'.First I prepared the Mexican Bean salad and for the main course I decided to prepare an Italian cuisine.Quickly we both sprang on our feet and went to a nearby super market to pick up groceries for cooking.We were back by 12.15pm.I started my cooking at 12.30pm and finished it by 1pm.Easy and effortless cooking.
         An awesome weather with a comfy food at home,perfect way to get out of the busy schedule.
