Where do you generally get the puff bars, Plei? I’ve only tried from Costco.

Sylvie is there no lacto veg option for corn muffins? Or are you lacking in chili? I never think to make chili but it’s so good when I do remember.

I also need to remember to get vaccinated! Maybe on Friday.

Probably, but I don't really do refined grains in any case.

Skipping a ton of posts. Hi, all.

I got my flu shot yesterday, but still need to get the Covid shot -- my doctor's office didn't have any.

So, I stopped by the grocery store on the way home from work to re-up the granola bars I like (Bob’s Red Mill) and get some of the refried beans I prefer that Costco doesn’t seem to carry, so I was in amongst the canned beans and came across cans of three bean salad! I didn’t know that was a thing. Not that it shouldn’t be, it may be evident by now that I like canned beans of many types so why not the salad? It just never occurred to me as a possibility. I didn’t get any because for one thing it was pretty expensive and for another had canned beans of two of the varieties at home, but I did study the label to find out what the three beans in question were: green beans, kidney beans, and wax beans. So there you have it. I still think green beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans are probably acceptable for personal use.

I did splurge on one can of relatively expensive roasted corn to mix with black beans because that sounds delicious. I hope they are worth the extra $2. Although if they are not I suppose it will be easy to resist their siren call in the future

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

-t, did you ever try the cold corn and green bean salad from the Buffistas' cookbook? It is a favorite recipe in my family.

Ooh I forgot about the buffista cookbook. I should pull that out for some inspiration.

dcp, that certainly sounds like something I should try if I haven’t already! Now, where might I have put the buffista cookbook? I think I have an electronic copy that might be easier to find…

I haven’t found the (possibly mythical) e-copy but I did find an email request for recipe submissions. 20 years ago, y’all! What even is time
