Those of you who read this blog and know me in real life will absolutely NOT believe what I'm about to tell you. I VOLUNTARILY PUT BEANS IN MY MOUTH TODAY......TWICE!!
I read the results of a recent study that showed that people who eat beans/legumes/lentils on a regular basis have an almost FIFTY PERCENT (yep 5-0%) reduced chance of developing diabetes in their lifetime. 50! So, just as I've decided that I'm not going to turn 44 this summer without finally learning to swim, I've also decided that it is time for me to conquer the beans and get them into my diet.
I can't say that I loved them (they were Hubby's refried beans at OTB which he said were not spectacular) and I made extra careful sure that I didn't get any of the whole beans or bean parts in my tastes, but the major victory here is that I didn't gag! Woohoo.
Now, don't any of you get your hopes up that this means I'll EVER get over my loathing of corn-as-an-ingredient thing, because you can just fuggedaboutit!

I think I am going to need a picture... or at least a post from Mike or Hannah corroborating this story. Not that I don't love you and trust you, but I also know you and have had you for dinner many a times......
If you've had me for dinner that many times, how come there's still so much of me left? LOL
There are no pics, but I'll see if I can Mike on here to corroborate this. Hannah was home working on her final geography project, so she didn't quite believe it either. :o)
