I do the same thing. I use 2 and 1/2 C of northern beans for a crockpot
bean soup/stew but I'm getting tired of so many daily bean meals. Next time
will try 2 C.

Thats only about a pound of beans, not a lot. Try cooking different
beans and/or change your recipe. Add smoked ham hocks. I like lima
beans cooked with smoked ham hocks. These days I mostly use canned
beans, purchased in larger cans they cost less than dried and saves
all that cooking time... canned are also perfectly cooked. Most every
type of bean is now available canned. Tonights dinner will include
canned black beans, refried with pork chops. I mash them in the same
pan I used to fry the chops, they turn out perfectly seasoned. I cook
them with the liquid, I see no reason to toss that down the drain with
all the nutrients, mostly healthful minerals... I keep cooking and
mashing until the liquid evaporates and the beans are the proper
texture.

I prefer canned beans by Goya but other brands are good too. I
haven't yet opened a can of beans that wasn't perfectly cooked.
However dried beans need careful watching and still they can turn out
over or under cooked. When you figure in all the fuel for long
cooking and your time dried cost more than canned. And nowadays the
dried beans I see are rather pricey compared to years ago. I can pay
less for dried if I buy fifty pound sacks. Where I lived previously
there were a lot of very large Hispanic families who bought 50 and
even 100 pound sacks... they obviously didn't waste money on birth
control and Latinas love sex, preferably with men but with women
too... I think that's the only birth control they practice. It was
rare to find a youngish Latina without a tribe of kids in tow and
already Prego with the next beaner.
I always wondered about the name for this sauce:

It's weird. I love pinto beans, black beans and red kidney beans, and could
happily eat them every day, but I have a strong aversion to Great Northern
beans. I can't even be in the same house where they're cooking.

I have an aversion to garbonzo beans. It's the mouth feel, not the
smell that gets to me.

Huh. I dislike the mouthfeel of most beans, but not garbanzos.

I was pleased to find out that the generic brand of canned garbanzos
at my grocery store are very good. I plan to have some with dinner tonight.

Where are you on lentils?

I love them. They are no something I grew up with. I discovered them
years ago at restaurant salad bars. I am not much interested in salad
greens but would get tomatoes, cucumber, croutons, peppers, chick peas
and blue cheese dressing. Lately I have been making a lot of hummus
and have had made several batches of chick pea curry.

I like them in a salad too. I had forgotten about that.
BTW - no onion slices in your salad?

> Lately I have been making a lot of hummus

I've only tried hummus once some years ago. Someone here highly
recommended the Trader Joe's brand so I bought some.
I wasn't impressed.

I do love falafel though, served in a pita with other
ingredients.
A local restaurant here makes them "to die for."

I have an aversion to pinto beans and that's because my mother burned me
out on them. Three or four weeks ago I had them for supper and that was
the first time eating them in 10 years. I can wait another 10 years before
consuming them again. I can't stand black beans but like the dark red
kidney beans in chili and like Great Northerns.

Joan, for your chili, try the "small red beans" they are exactly
the same as the regular kidney beans, but don't have the tough ass
skins. Of course, disregard if you prefer the tougher kidney beans.

Great northerns are wonderful, but also try navy beans. Similar,
and trust me, they won't turn you into a raving sex maniac like Popeye!

I love the dark red kidney beans. I'll drain them and sauce them with
a strong garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar , let them marinate a bit
and then just eat them as a salad.
I'm thinking that is what I will have for supper.

I sometimes buy the dark red kidney beans in "sauce" (they call them
"chili beans"). I do use them when I make a quick batch of chili con
carne. But other times I simply heat up the beans in the sauce,
sprinkle some shredded "Mexican" cheese blend on top and have that as a
quick meal.

Oddly enough, the Japanese see beans as mostly a dessert and sweets food. Why is that? I donno. It's like a whole alternate universe. They make two main types of sweet bean paste - red and white but some unusual ones are also made.

I once had really nice savoury breakfast bean cookies at a Tokyo
airport hotel. Only if you chose the Japanese breakfast. I wish I knew
their name.

Everybody's different. I like variety, although I get more variety in
my lunches than my dinners.

I don't consider it a waste to cook for only one meal. Consider
scrambled eggs and toast. There's no point making leftovers of that.

Scampi is another one that makes a single meal. When they come out
of the frying pan they're perfectly cooked. Reheating them would only
wreck them.

That said, I often grill extra chicken, because I can use the leftovers for
different sorts of salads and sandwiches. This weekend I'll make a
pot of red lentil soup, eat one portion and freeze the rest.

I cook dozen egg omelets all the time, serves us well for two+
dinners. We like potato omelets with cheese.

Any cooked meat can be used to make other meals in a hurry... that's
why I buy pork/beef roasts that are at least five pounds. We don't
eat much poultry.

You've said that many times, Sheldon, and it never made any sense to me.
Cooking a dozen eggs for an omelet for two people? I've always found
reheated eggs result in rubbery, overcooked, tough eggs. No thanks!

You don't eat much poultry but Cindy does. She's cited the ways she
uses the leftover chicken she has grilled. I have no idea why you have
a problem with that.

I love soup and do prefer to make it from scratch. (Your beloved
Progresso brand canned soup has gone waaay downhill in recent years.) I
don't make gallons of soup at a time but there is enough for a couple of
days. Any leftovers after that gets portioned out and into the
stand-alone freezer.

You are not going to convince anyone to cook in the quantities you do
simply because you keep repeating it.

I remember I had some egg fu yung the next day, and it was alright. Taco Bell is the very best, reheated. But not everything else is. KFC and McDonald's fries are the worst if you don't eat them soon.

It's very easy to reheat eggs perfectly with a microwave, use half
power for less time than you think and you can always zap another 15
seconds. A lot of people think they need to cook everything with full
heat, they can't cook lick. I rreally only want reheated foods warm,
not steaming hot.

I like them sometimes. Depends on what it is.
