Soyajoy, boy oh boy!

Dictated: My resourceful sister gifted me with a kitchen appliance called a Soyajoy. This amazing object, which she grabbed while thrifting, can puree dry beans, peas, and grains within 20 mins! Our school district didn't use all our snow days, so I was home today fixing little crap around the house and decided to Soyajoy a pitcher of mayacuba (canary) beans. Was the project successful? I'm in bed at 830 now, too full to move. From two cups of beans I made porridge with maple syrup (breakast-lunch); a complete cake, actually more like a custard, topped with coconut molasses frosting; and spicy rice-bean griddle cakes (dinner). Meant to research any deleterious effects of eating too many beans, but too late now, can't unring that bell. So far, so good: other than extreme fullness, I've not had the gastric explosion one might anticipate. I read that pureed beans are more bioavailable, easier to digest, even, so maybe that's it. So if you want to add another method for great eating, look for a Soyajoy!... There's a lot of other stuff going on, but I'm too beaned up to keep going. B
