Number 1 that’s black beans. Number 2 the punchline is “i dunno but I’ve never paid $20 to have a garbanzo bean on my face”. Number 3 I won’t allow my go to joke to be stolen by these fascist goons!
I’m guessing you don’t have kids?
If I let my kids ate what they liked their palates would never have grown and they would still only want mac and cheese. Both from a “eating well rounded/healthy” perspective, also from a “growing your palate so you’ll enjoy all sorts of foods” perspective (not to mention a “dad isn’t going to cook 4 separate meals for dinner so we are all eating the same thing once you aren’t a toddler” perspective) I firmly disagree with your sentiment.
Upside is my kids (now middle school and high school) generally eat all sorts of stuff. Sorry not sorry.
Edit - now that i properly read your post I retract some of my attitude. I agree about the “try new things and don’t force them to eat things they hate” bit. I don’t think you are suggesting just let them eat the minimal things they like. So sorry for being a dick.
I have a wedgewood gas stove and oven from the 50s. It’s “off” temperature is perfect for this, every other week or so I’ll rotate one of my cast irons in there following this same method (heat above 400, then cut the heat, and leave the pan in there for the rest of the day in the ambient heat). Just remember to take it out before preheating the oven for dinner!
💯 This is why I finally got fed up with the green party. Where they ran local candidates they actually won and made real impact (I lived in Richmond, California where Gayle Mclaughlin was on city council and then a 2 term mayor!) But the focus on national elections that they could never win given fptp, and the subservience of the California GP to the national party annoyed me enough to switch to no party preference.
I’m in Taipei right now and how few fucks the locals give about any of this vs how people talked about it back home (Berkeley, California) is a bit striking.
