Fava beans

In Reply to: they laughed because he mispronounced chianti - ok
Not so easy to find. May have to go to one of those boutique groceries, a Fresh Market, Whole Foods, etc. Grow in giant pods. I had a neighbor who grew them because her husband loved them. If you find a way to make them palatable, lemme know. As I said, big lima bean shaped beans, kind of squishy texture and a bitter taste. Nasty is the only impression I carry over the years. Oh, and for some reason, African blacks and people with Mediterranian ancestry can lack a digestive enzyme and that makes them very allergic to favas (it's called 'favism'). Go figure.
Yep, that's me. TMI (too much information). Yeah, I know, this belongs on the gab board. I promise we'll quit about the beans now, all you who are outraged by trivia here.

Let me just interrupt my dinner of fava beans
and chianti to reply. What's happening in the market is called a hiccup. It will jump a little, drop a little, and bounce around. It does that when a president has a colonoscopy or gets a mole removed.
I would not start singing Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead quite yet (am I mixing movie metaphors?) because I think the overall trend will be gradually down over the long term. Let's see what a 6-month average has been in, say, September? (Now might be a really good time to divest....just sayin')
Never have had fava beans, but I have had a nice chianti
Although all wine is "nice". Fava beans have just always sounded nasty. I remember watching Anthony Hopkins interviewed on Inside the Actors Studio. I can't remember exactly what he said now but I remember him commenting on that specific line, and they were laughing about it.
Well at least sm and you had dogs and beans
We lived on soup given to us by a neighbor for 6 months. In return, hubby worked around the place for him (they were in their 70s). We would get a gallon of soup every other day. I must say, I did lose weight then.  Kids came first, then hubby, then me for the soup. I never want to be in that position again, but it looks like it may come to that. Thank heavens, I've been stocking up a bit. I'm no where near where I'd like to be food-wise, but better off than I was in the 80s when there was NOTHING.
Actually, neither one means a hill of beans to me...thanks for trying...nm
There you go...hit on another favorite. Pinto beans...
fried potatoes and cornbread. Yum. Growing up that was a staple for us. And boy did I (and still do) love it!!
Yeah. bread and beans maybe? LOL (nm)

you're mixing apples and beans, drug addiction
alcoholism and drug addition is nothing like religious fanaticism and/or religious extremism.....and/or genocide in Darfur and/or Kenya
he went to see Odinga not a month ago to try and broker peace there......and after he left Kenya, the genocide continued and continues thru now....
sand....head....ostrich.......
Oops! Jill Biden spilled the beans on Oprah...sm
today. Joe was offered either Secretary of State or VP by Obama, his choice. Everyone was shocked and laughing and she so, "well its true", and Joe said, it's OK, you're right it is true. I predict that skit will be portrayed on SNL this weekend.
