My calendar new years resolution is to eat a new kind of beans every month.
Mastodonians, what is your favorite simple-ish bean dish? I want some way to compare flavors of different bean varieties without feeling like I'm eating boring beans & rice again.
@mcmoots I just made some amazing black-eyed peas (I never thought I'd have said that). It's from Thug Kitchen. Wicked easy and super spicy (can be adjusted to your preference.) Also cheap.
@compostablespork I am kind of wrecking the "cheap" part of beans with this resolution - "hey let's just impulse purchase all of the fancy heirloom varieties at the fancy store!"
I grew scarlet runner beans last summer; the blossoms were gorgeous but the plants were afflicted with thrips and, I think, powdery mildew. I ended up breaking even--harvesting about as many beans as I had planted. [sfx: sad trombone]

@VinnieTesla @mcmoots @joXn liking the rancho gordo, not so much the thrips, that stinks!
