Fiber handbag – Now with more fiber
where your money is, at least
you’ll get some fiber.
If she were currently blogging, I would’ve made you go over there to see that awesomeness, but because she’s not, this is pure, public theft. I’m not bitter that she abandoned us or anything. *glares at the woman who claims she’s too busy to blog right now, if she happens to find her way over here through some stalker-esque backlink checking* Pfft. :P ;)
Don’t eat yellow snow – There’s pea in my drink!
No, that’s not a typo. There really was a pea in my drink….in my yellow glass with frozen water (hey, that’s sorta like snow :P)
This is what happens when you store an opened package of frozen peas above your freezer’s built-in ice maker. It wasn’t nearly as shocking as the time I ended up with crayons in my drink, though, but alas, I don’t think I have pictures of that anywhere. :(
Beans rock….and other reasons to sort your beans
A while back, Monica over at Run, Eat, Repeat did a tutorial on cooking your own beans instead of grabbing them from a can. This is something I do constantly, so no real shocker there.
What shocked me was that her grandma told her horror stories of people breaking their teeth from biting down on a rock, but she’s never found a rock in dry beans! I know she buys them in bulk, in small quantities, and probably of a much better quality than I ever do, but it still sorta threw me off that it sounded almost like a myth to her, lol.
I don’t have a bulk store anywhere near me, so I buy a large bag of beans at the grocery store. And I most definitely sort them.
Here’s why:
That’s from a little over half a bag. That’s definitely more than I usually find, but still, doesn’t really surprise me any either.
You can see a couple “ugly beans” in there, too, which is another reason why I sort them. Even if I find only a rock or two, I tend to find a few really ugly beans that don’t seem fit to eat. I sort at least twice (usually I sort once on the table, and then again as I push them off the table into a bowl or strainer) and then also rinse to pick out any debris or really wrinkled, funky beans that might float to the top.
