I’ve recently soaked, cooked and frozen some black beans and chickpeas. Upon thawing and eating they’ve been quite dry. Any ideas why and what to change? I froze then after draining, not in water or brine.

Late to this party, but I'm guessing that when you froze them, the ice crystals punctured cell walls releasing the moisture inside, and when you thawed them, that moisture leaked out.

baby carrots. They're so dang hideous but so convenient. It feels dumb to not buy them but I hate looking at them so much. Is this weird.

I assume you mean "baby cut carrots" which as close as I can tell are carrot pieces that have been put on a little carrot lathe by bitter-south-pole-carrot-turning gnomes. They suck.

its just, by price, when I subtract the trimmings from normal carrots they like aren't more expensive by weight at the grocery store I shop at and I don't have to use a peeler. But they're gross looking.

It must be easier/cheaper than selling peeled carrots somehow.

thats a little sad, I would love the ugly carrots as they are (but peeled).

However it makes me feel better about baby carrots knowing they were invented for a good reason. Ty for answering my question.

Why not just eat them without peeling them? I just wash carrots to get the worst of the mud off them...

The worst carrots are soft honey glazed baby carrots. The best carrots are unpeeled carrots, broiled or otherwise cooked until blackened in places.

I like buying the medley bag of white orange purple etc carrots, tossing them in olive oil, salt and habanero pepper, then roasting them.

Yes. In most forms. Roast carrots with cumin makes a great base for a dip/spread.
dino’s grated stir-fried carrot is amazingly delicious, especially given how simple it is.
Roast carrots are delicious. So are raw ones. And carrot salad.

Conceptually I like carrots. But they're not a substitute for my mandatory green vegetables and making multiple vegetables for a meal is way too much work.

The classic french preparation is my favorite (half inch of stock+wine + some butter, steam with lid ajar, brown a little once liquid is all gone) but I'm too lazy.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I mean you can cook your carrots sous vide without added sugar. I prefer the char from roasting them but it doesn't have to be a choice between candied and not.

I just brush my carrots with melted butter and roast them whole unpeeled, covered until they soften and then uncovered until they get brown and crispy on the outside.

It tastes awesome and you can do a giant dish of them at once.

It was 1950something. So they didn't have budgets to do multiple cameras, editing, or much of anything else. He's not a professional actor by any stretch. He's pretty much going there, broadcasting live, and has to go off the cuff the whole time.
