Eating heirloom raw organic vegan is the ultimate FUCK YOU to corporate America.

67. Oof. I'm so far behind in my reading that I doubt

I'll be able to get to that one soon. Can you tell me what it says about lima beans? That would be fascinating.

But, speaking of books, when I was a pre-teen, I read a book with the title, We Took to the Woods. In it was a very lengthy recipe and detailed directions for making traditional baked beans. I was so entranced with the author's description that I remembered it for many years. Finally, when I was a big grown-up adult, I retrieve my parents' copy of the book and made the author's recipe, following her detailed, lengthy process to the letter. I even bought a cast-iron dutch oven for the job, since that was called for in her description.

The result, made for a large gathering, was extraordinary. The entire pot of baked beans was gone in a flash. The process, however, of making them takes all day, so I've rarely made that recipe since. Perhaps I'll dig out the dutch oven and do it again soon.
