Is there more to life?
Watching Barbie, now available on Blu-Ray, of course!
Hey, the Golden Globes is in January and the Oscars are in March, and I really, really want to be a winner instead of a nominee this year, can you blame me?
When you do win, you should take a selfie on stage and only post it here.
Just to fuck with everybody.
But... Lemmy is still too small right now, and the longer I wait, the funnier it gets, right?

We sometimes talk about not pooping...
Well, have I got a solution for you. Have you ever heard of beans?
That guy, Mizu, deleted his account...

It's bean pretty fun. 🫘
Free market doing its job, baby!
Wait, are you saying other things exist?

Beans (Japanese sweets)
As a Latino, the first time trying sweet beans in a pastry was so alarming. I still don't like them, it's so weird. Now sweet, fried plantains with a side of refried beans and avocado? Yes please!

Are they real beans that taste sweet or sweats that look like beans?
Red Bean Paste. It's often sweetened and used as a filling in a lot of Japanese pastries and desserts.
Ya'll are missing out. Mochi with red bean paste is amazing. It's about the sweet and savory combination. Pretty similar to how halva works.

Beans (the furry kind)

HЯ~
Frijoles>beans
Not when I was stocking them. People got sooooooooooooooooo mad that they couldn't find the "beans".
looks at a label with a big picture of beans on it
No, no this can't be it!
People shit on British food and come over here and make out its the best thing ever.
I couldn't convince my girlfriend to try my pie with veggies and fat chips all covered in gravy. Then she ate it and said "actually that's really nice".
Like of course its a pie covered in gravy!

Off topic, but yesterday I tried a tamale for the first time. Apparently they're a common Christmas food in Mexico, so my boss brought some to our party. The first bite or two were strange (as a very picky US-American), but then it was really good! 10/10 would recommend and all that

American: Beans with your eggs and bacon? Disgusting.
proceeds to slop more sand textured corn porridge on plate
Grits are mostly a southern thing. That said, they are absolutely awful IMO. I'd sooner try British beans with my breakfast.

Best use of my pressure cooker*! Bulk black and pinto beans, 40m in the cooker with water and salt, then onto the stove with sauteed onions and garlic, a fair amount of oil, apple cider vinegar, pickled jalapeno or two, spices... absolutely fantastic with some rice. And our toddler loves it too.
*Instant Pot, but pressure cooker sounds more... haute cuisine.
Beans (The java + spring kind)
I just had baked beans on toast with eggs today. Made them myself with onions, mushrooms, garlic, smoked paprika powder, a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon and a shot of maple syrup. It tasted great and I am not even English.

British people also have mashed peas as their guacamole-but-not.
And yet if a fancy restaurant does pea puree, people are all over it.
Mushy peas are made from a specific variety (marrowfat) that were selectively bred to be softer and have a nicer texture when pureed. People are just snobby about it, baked beans, and food like it because it's working class food, without being fetishised 'exotic' working class food.

Corn is the same. I prefer the pale non-sweet corn from Mexico much more.

And then there's Southern American, Beans, hamhock, bacon, onions, cornbread. Amazing meal in the winter.
Baked beans are top tier, tasty and good for protein. Also good for farting.
Same thing with rice.
Don't knock baked beans.
I was just looking up recipes for them last night. Thinking of trying my hand at homemade.
