culinary inclinations.

in general, i don't like beans. they're starchy, and they have a weird texture and not really much taste. if i have to eat them in soup or something, i swallow them whole, like a pill.

but for the last couple of weeks, i've been having the urge to cook something with black beans. i don't even know why. maybe because it's something i've never done before. except, as stated above, i don't like beans, and i don't think he does either, so it would probably be cooked, tasted, and then thrown out, which seems like a waste.

i wonder if there's a way to make beans taste... i don't know. less like beans?
