Why folks don't cook more, part gazillion and one

Last time I posted on this issue, I had a revelation when a number of people popped up in comments and elsewhere, begging me for the recipe for the dish I posted. I will confess that this threw me for a loop, in part because I had just found the picture online, but mostly because you can tell by looking at it that it's rice and beans with avocado on top. To my mind, this barely counts as "recipe", at least not the kind you have to ask someone for. It's an idea, sure. But rice and beans is a matter of cooking rice and beans, putting some stuff that tastes good in it, like cumin and chili and onions and garlic, and then putting some avocado on it. What was obvious to me is obviously not obvious to everyone.
