Wednesday Weigh-In 20190620

I cooked my first ever batch of Mung Beans over the weekend. They're a great substitute for lentils.

Edited on 2019-06-30 to add...

For this first batch, I cooked them according to the advice here, except that I omitted the garlic, and I rinsed the beans several times.

This is similar to how I cook rice, except I don't rinse rice, and mung beans require twice as much liquid.

My goal was to add them to some sort of cold grain salad dish, perhaps quinoa salad. But another family member finished that salad, and the beans came out overcooked, which made them a great candidate for filing a vegan Empanada.

They stunk quite a bit while cooking -- a musty earthy smell. I'm surprised that my housemates didn't complain about it, as they usually complain when I make ghee or hard boiled eggs. Anyway, I hope you try and enjoy them!

I just found out that our cellphones need to be upgraded because they are "non-VoLTE." I was almost going to wistfully remark about how backward compatible landlines are until I realized that support for Pulse dialing (as in rotary phones) was dropped about ten years ago by our telcom. I never liked rotary phones, anyway.

Most people focus on What to eat. But, like reporting news, What is just part of the story. Recall the "Who, What, Where, When, How, Why" of journalism? They apply to eating, as well. Yes, even Who, although, grammatically is Whom, and the question isn't "Whom do you eat?" but rather "Whom do you eat with?" Apparently, folks tend to eat more moderately when there are witnesses. This is true for me, too. If I'm alone in the break room with a box of donuts or birthday cake, there can be bad consequences. But if someone else is there, I'll avoid the temptation.

I think I might write a diet book. DO you think you might want to read it?
