A bit more flex than I anticipated. Went with 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 3/16 on advice of the metal supplier. Wish I had gone with 2x2x3/16. It will be fine as I will just rest there, supported at 3 points.

Sounds like most are thawing out and having decent Wx.

Good to hear people are healing as well.

Never heard of the drain and rinse on the beans until last year, always just used right out of the can. Found that drain and rinsed they were also a good addition to salads.

I really like my wife's salads, she uses beans, dried cherries, raisins, tomatoes, some spinach, leaf lettuce, and a rasberry vinigerette, and recently, some Stilton cheese, from Costco. Stilton is kind of a english version of Bleu cheese, I guess.

Don - I came across this recipe for black bean and corn chili....see what you think....?

Calories in Black Bean and Corn Chili | Nutrition and Health Facts

Brin, that looks like our chill recipe except for the sugar. At the end we also add cilantro and hot sauce.

I was reading TBN during lunch - Tai Tacos (plant based fat free) The main ingredients are chick peas and cabbage.
To get the taco shells formed formed with no fat we bake them (10 minutes) in a dish with parchment paper (so no sticking) and aluminum foil (to keep shape)- see picture We used to put them on a taco rack but they kept falling off.

Those Tacos look great...The sugar in the other recipe is not needed at all...If you read toward the end ...it even speculates the sugar was listed just to make the corn sweeter...I would not use sugar either.

I was surprised to see the chili recipe was listed as high in sodium with the rinsing of the black beans. One other thing we do is sauté the onions and garlic in water.

Those sure do look good.
