A challenge!

So, I have access to a bunch of canned beans, and I don’t know what to do with them. But they should be eaten. Beans I have access to:

Baby lima
Black
Black-eye peas
Garbanzo
Great Northern
Kidney
Lentils
Navy
Pinto
Red
Split peas
White

I’m not a great cook, so I’d like to be able to prepare these with as few other ingredients as possible. How about [...]

Late, but cheerful.

It’s a miracle!

Winston actually willingly sat on my lap for almost an hour today. I had to get proof.
