If Sunday is fun day, then Monday is most definitely not fun day. It means going back to work, going back to school, and having to do all those chores that were neglected in the way of brunch and bottomless mimosas. That's why historically, folks in the south loved cooking red beans on Mondays. You could throw everything in the pot and let it simmer the day away while you got caught up on the ever expanding chore list. Or conversely, thanks to modern technology, let them go in the slow cooker all day (which is what I like doing anyway).
