beans and rice

I now understand why the Latina's I've seen cook don't use measuring cups... there are none in 3rd world countries.

Beans -
- 1 lbs beans (that's two cups people)
- 4 cubes of garlic bouillon (or two table spoons of minced garlic)
- 2 small tablespoons of salt (not all the way full)
- 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon
- a bunch of cilantro... there is no way to know how much, but it was a lot
- 2 packets of cumino (each packet is about a palm full)

Rice -
- 2 cups of rice
- 3 cubes of garlic bouillon
- 3 juicy limes
- 1 three finger pinch of salt
- a bunch of cilantro

Put the rice in a pan with some oil (enough to cover the rice, but not so much as to drown it) and lightly brown. Put all of the other ingredients in a pot with four blue cups of water (our cups here are blue.... I don't know how big they are or how much they hold!) and taste, adjust if necessary, and then put the rice in. Well, you people know how to cook rice...
