Processed/ canned beans contain the same amount of minerals than fresh beans I read somewhere.

I seriously don't fuck around making them from scratch - way too time sensitive. I just buy organic canned ones and toss 'm in my vegetable stew near the end. Five minute job.

@Seul having cranked out the dietary values for my home-made baked beans and the bought alternative, there doesn't seem to be any great health advantages either way. There's a bit less protein and a bit more fat, and I suspect a little less salt and refined sugar in mine, but not enough to lose sleep over.

I like to prepare beans from scratch, but I'm not sure if there's any real need. The soybeans I used (not a traditional component of baked beans) required an overnight soak, and then three hours cooking. I suspect tinned beans would have shortened the process somewhat.

My girlfriend made me a hat for my birthday. She know how much I like Japanese stuff, so the yarn she used is extra awesome.

I sewed this Doom patch on it. The hat is really slubby and super silky and soft. It also adequately fits my massive head.

One Christmas (at home with the in-laws) down, one Christmas (in North Carolina with my family) to go…

I think that I had a bit of sun or heat stroke yesterday.

Christmas Day should not be hot. There should be snow and reindeer!

No, he said "with the in-laws", not at separate tables….

Jerks.
Nah, they came to our house.  I cooked; well, technically, I heated up food from Hebert's.  I suppose that makes me lazy, but so what?
