Black Bean and Sausage Goulash
Ingredients
* 1 pound dried black beans
* ¾ cup olive oil
* 4 cups diced yellow onions (3 large)
* 4 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts only (2 leeks)
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 large cloves)
* 1 tablespoon kosher salt
* 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
* 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 3 cups medium diced celery (8 stalks)
* 3 cups medium diced carrots (4 to 6 carrots)
* 48oz Chicken Stock
* ¼ cup tomato paste
* 1 pound sausage (sliced into 1 inch pieces)
* ½ bottle beer
Directions
In a large bowl, cover the beans with boiling water and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drain.
In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat ½ cup olive oil (reserve ¼ cup) and sauté the onions, leeks, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are translucent and tender. Add the celery and carrots and sauté for another 10 minutes. Add 40oz chicken stock (reserve 8oz.), tomato paste, and drained beans, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. In another pan cook sausage in the ¼ cup reserved olive oil, until browned, then turn off stove.

Add the sausage (meat, oil, & drippings) and beer, cover pot, and simmer for another 3 minutes. Turn off stove, and let pot sit with top on for 30 minutes and then eat!

to try to contain oneself.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."

A message in a g-chat bottle from SK
LNY and I talked for an hour tonight and he wanted me to send his thug love to everyone.
If you don't understand who LNY is or why he'd send thug love, then don't worry about it.
