Fourth topic: Lima beans
Mar. 13th, 2008 10:50 amAlright, I'll bite... what /are/ your thoughts on lima beans? Garbanzos, black beans, heck, even lentils? Do you have any good recipes to share? (Ok, not having access to the foodnetwork has really kicked in now...)
Ha!
I don't particularly like eating lima beans. They seem kind of tasteless to me. I suppose I don't DISlike them, and I would eat them in a dish, but I don't go around putting lima beans in things. HOWEVER, I do like using beans/seeds and soaking them and trying to make plants out of them, and lima beans are VERY good for this. In fact, in college for fun I made a bunch of lima bean plants, and one of them got quite huge and actually started producing lima beans of its own. That was fun! (I have also done peas, corn kernels, and a few other beans.)
I really like garbanzo beans, especially when made into delicious hummus or on top of a yummy salad. And I prefer black beans to, say, pinto beans. I don't know much about lentils. At all.
And umm, I don't really cook worth a damn so I'm afraid I'm really of no help to you whatsoever in the recipe department. However, a number of my peeps are good cooks, especially my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smurfbrother, and I do invite them all to now share their best bean/pea/legume recipes with you. :)

Toothless nap? Or napless tooth?
Mar. 13th, 2008 03:27 pmTooth #3 has broken the surface. You can't really see it but you can feel the hard little nub. Woah. Tooth #3.
Also, it took nearly 45 minutes to make the afternoon nap happen, even though she was completely and totally exhausted. I had to actually hold her so that she couldn't move so that she would struggle until she gave up and fell asleep. That never happens.
I'm sure the two are related, but right now I'm too frazzled to care. I hope this isn't a preview of the night to come.

Fifth Topic: Relaxing
Mar. 13th, 2008 09:18 pmI would like to hear more about what relaxes you, what music makes you emotional.
I am not very good at relaxing. At all. I am not very good at doing nothing, or lounging around, or whatever. But I do like to have fun! So these are some of the things I think are fun: spending time with Jen, hanging out with friends, going to the ocean, hiking/camping, enjoying a little alcohol, and making out. Preferably combinations of these. Heck, if Jen and I could hike out to the ocean, camp with some friends, have a few beers by the fire and then make out, I think I would be all set!
As for music, pretty much all music makes me emotional. Well, except for music that sucks. There are a few Dar Williams songs that kick me in the gut ("The One Who Knows" is one) because of the content, and Ani DiFranco's "Gratitude" makes me bawl like a baby in the right mood, but really any song can make me emotional in the right context or if I have the right associations with it. I love music. LOVE. Especially live. Pretty much any music, when live, can get me going.
