Thursday at our house is bean night. We have been eating beans and rice on Thursday nights for a couple years now. It started as a way to make tangible for the kids that we were giving to a child through Compassion. It was supposed to be a sacrifice that they would make and also a way to remember what people in a lot of the world eat a lot of the time. Turns out though, it hasn't been a sacrifice at all and we actually all look forward to bean night. We sometimes do different types of beans, but we eat pintos the most often.
