I use plenty of canned beans, canned tomatoes, and lately, canned broth and
soups. All my vegetables except peas are always fresh. (We like the little
tiny baby early etc. peas.) To dipshit "pltrgst" or whatever, to say that
people posting in a cooking group open only one can a week is just you
trying to be snotty and winding up sounding stupid.

What is true is that lots of cans have pop tops now. Which I much
appreciate.

Canned and frozen stuff is great when you have more interesting things than
cooking to do. And I have to say, I feel really glad when I do. haha,
bitches.
