Last night , Beyonce interviewed with Larry King on Larry King Live and this time she didn’t cry when he asked her about her relationship with her mom, Tina Knowles. The interview was basically about what’s she done, her movie career and of course her undeniable talent as a singer. By the way, she really did look amazing. In the interview, Beyonce said she believes that she “was born to sing.” She talked about how she has this total out of body experience when she’s on the stage or performing and she said that it wasn’t until her last film, Cadillac Records that the same feeling that she had when she sang, she was able to get when she was doing a movie. So now she says that she doesn’t pay attention to what’s happening around her or the cameras but rather focuses on the character that she’s playing. She also talked about her relationship with her husband, J as she calls him, also known as Jay Z. She said that keeping their lives private has made them happy thus far and they intend on keeping it that way. When asked about Rihanna, she said that her and J and her family are there for her and also mentioned how important it is to give Rihanna her privacy while going through these difficult times. Larry asked her about her tour and if she’s nervous and she said yes of course, she always gets nervous and if you don’t then you better get nervous. Larry also asked her questions about the First family, specifically Michelle Obama, and Beyonce talked about how chic the first lady was when it comes to how she dresses and she also talked about the kids and how wonderful they are and how she’s happy to hear that they look up to her. Beyonce said that she would always try to do what’s right since she knows how many depend on her. Watch the interview right here!

Rice with black beans

Note: This isn’t black beans and rice ( which is white rice and bean sauce) I’ll have this recipe up soon. So stay tune….

1.       Wash your black beans with water. (2 washes)

2.       Put the black beans to boil, don’t forget to cover the pot, it boils quicker!

3.       Check the beans after about 20-30 minutes to see if they are tender, (it shouldn’t be mushed)

4.       Once beans are tender, drain the beans but don’t throw away the water in which the beans were boiled (Very important)!

5.       Now it’s time to fry the beans, no need for too much oil, just enough for the beans to fry in.

6.       While the beans are frying it’s time to start putting in your spices

(how to prepare your very own homemade spices will be coming soon).

-Some spices to consider

7.       Once the beans are done frying with the spices, time to put in your coconut milk, yes coconut milk, no need to put too much, that means don’t put in the whole can, not even half the can, just enough to cover the beans.

8.       Let the beans simmer in the coconut milk for about a minute or two.

9.       Now it’s time to pour back the bean water back into the pot.

10.   Once you pour the bean water back make sure you check to see if it needs more salt (this truly depends on you).

11.   Now once the water begins to boil, you know it’s time to pour in your rice.

12.   When pouring the rice, you know you have enough once the rice makes a hat over the water.  Stir to make sure you haven’t been deceived. Pour as needed.

13.   Now let the rice cook in water for a little bit on High to medium heat.

14.   Once the water starts to disappear it’s time to cover the rice so it can steam.

15.   Let the rice cook and steam for about 30 to 40 minutes.

16.   Go and check to make sure your rice is cooked and if it is then your ready to eat!!!

?Good luck!!!

Too many people have skeletons in their closets that they would rather just keep under wraps, especially when they are in a new relationship where they want to start with a fresh start. A lot of times in a relationship, telling our partner about past relationships or things that have happened in our past can be one of the hardest things to do, but the question is do you even need to tell them about what happened in your past, or should the past remain exactly what it is, the past. Let’s suppose you were the type of girl that had a lot of indiscretions in your past, meaning that you liked to get down, do you need to tell your partner about what used to be an aspect of your life. How about if you were once a convict, do you need to tell your partner about that? How about how many people you’ve been with or slept with, should your partner know about that? What should you or shouldn’t you tell your partner about your past?

This is a tough one for many, because some people may feel that whatever happened yesterday shouldn’t have any bearing on what happens today. Others feel the complete opposite because it is the things that happened in your past that shapes and molds the person that you are and can even determine what you will do and how you will carry yourself in your present relationship. 

So, should you tell your partner about your past? There are certain things that I believe that you should share with your partner and there are other aspects of your life that you don’t necessarily have to share unless of course you care to. For example, details of your past relationship, isn’t necessarily something that needs to be shared, unless of course the both you decide that you want to, but believe me this is opening up a can of worms if you do. Something that you can share though, is what you think caused you past relationships to fail. I feel that being honest about something like this can allow you to create a solid foundation for your new relationship. Another thing that you would want to share is if you were once a convict. I think your partner would definitely want to know this and what exactly caused you to go to prison. This would definitely be something you would want to tell them. If you were once married is another thing that you should tell your partner even if it occured in your past. There are so many other things that we can mention that should or shouldn’t be discussed but in reality it depends on the type of relationship you want to create. If you want to have a healthy and happy relationship, then it’s best that your open and honest about the things that will affect or have a bearing on making your relationship a success. It isn’t necessary to bring up the things that won’t affect your relationship one way or another, but you have to decide for yourself really what those things are and what they aren’t.
