if it�s in tbe family fabaceae it�s a pea and if it�s a pea it�s a bean

goku is a saiyan, therefore probably not in family fabaceae and not a bean

not sure about piccolo though things seem more ambiguous there

spent some time in the wiki, neither goku nor piccolo can be reliably called beans, tho I did learn this:

�Toriyama was also inspired to create Frieza due to the events of the Japanese economic bubble that had occurred at the time he was writing the Saiyan Saga, with Frieza specifically being based on real estate speculators, which Toriyama claimed were "the worst sort of people".�

bean year in review:

main lunch the first half of the year was channa masala ^{[1], [2]}. solid bean lunch, first recipe isn�t very good, need to try the second

kale+bean salad bean lunch for the summer ^[3], ran out of mint from my garden. dressing definitely does NOT freeze ok. reserved for summer potlucks

currently: garbanzos con espinacas for lunch ^[4]. using 1:2 frozen to fresh spinach ratio. user comment on there about a version including cinnamon + nutmeg, need to try

exclusively chili ^[5] bean dinners when traveling for work. loaded a week of frozen containers in the hotel mini fridge � sick setup. can�t be improved upon

masoor dal ^[6] need milder dried chilies for this one

holiday bean dinner ^[7] very good. VERY beany, not for the faint of heart. first try, took my eyes off it for a second and thr broiler burned the poo poo out of the bread and possibly caused smoke damage to the house. worth it

tofu: made tieban tofu ^[8] perfect quick meal w/ some gai lan

miscellaneous bean dishes: some generic nyt poo poo that exists in infinite permutations on their site ^[9] and some tiktok recipe ^{[citation needed]} with cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and cannellini beans

areas for improvement:

working on a lentil soup ^[10], NEEDS a better stock than �better than bullion�, texture is too inconsistent with an immersion blender, need to batch blend half

still trying to cook a good kik alicha but can�t get it to taste like the restaurant � close to giving up

#1 tofu priority in 2024 is mapo tofu

would like to shift to dried beans to eliminate aluminum can liner microplastics from my diet, save $$, and try exotic confetti colored beans that someone posted about in the Covid thread but now I can�t find their post

ever make chickpea tofu? it kicks rear end, fries like a dream, and even does that thing where you can freeze and thaw it repeatedly to get nice texturized strips
