As a child I refused to eat refried beans because they look like poo

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

Thank you

reminder that now is the time to sew your snap peas and fava beans. I got a couple little favas growing. I don't think they care about frost. they're a little repulsive to eat but they're about the only thing that fruits that early, other than the snap peas

My favas r about a month old now. We've got them more for the nitrogen fixation but I will eat whatever they make

I really gotta get into the dried bean game but then I gotta have to decide what I'm eating ahead of time.

aw frig aw dang it posted:

fava beans can make you hella sick if you got a mutation and that's pretty metal

When I bought mine to plant they had a warning on tje label about that. Some people can get sick just from like handling the beans or beathing in bean dust. I gambled and thankfully am not one of tjem

Gf made vegetarian chili in an instant pot in a pinch last night before we left. It came out pretty well tbh

She used canned (were working on switching) so the instant pot was more just to cook the veggies really quick. We normally do chili in the slow cooker.

It tasted a bit different (not in a bad way) and I asked what she used to season and she said she just did cumin and then dumped half a mason jar of our homemade salsa into it. Ive never thought about that before but it does have most of the seasonings you'd put into chili. I wanna experiment more with it in the future
