The Ikarian way “How to be good to your body without being mean to your mind" I like this idea a lot.

Always loved beans. I make them often. (Maybe that's why I'm still here  .) I prefer to soak and cook them from scratch, but often use good-quality canned ones when time is short.

This butter bean (no cook) dish is now part of my regular repertoire ... Butter beans with pistachio dukkah  | |||

Love the food philosophy. Those both look like great recipes. Will definitely try them out.

Tried the Kochilas recipe for lunch. Made a few substitutions based on what was in the pantry...yellow onion instead of red and kale instead of eggplant. Oh, and canned San Marzano tomatoes. Still, it was excellent!  Almost felt like dancing...

I’ll have to try that recipe. It looks great! I used that article as inspiration to make a pot of my favorite Great Northerns. Ham stock (just made it - deserves much greater distribution), soaked Great Northerns, mirepoix with double onions, red bell pepper and a couple of jalapeños. Garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme -the last of what I froze last fall. Added a few bits of leftover ham at the end. I could eat it every day. In fact, I just might.

Try Rancho Gordo. There is a waiting list for their Bean Club. I like their huge beans the best. Just got our shipment today. Huge white beans served with an herbed olive oil. | |||

I’ve heard of that place. I need to check it out!

I suspect this more closely correlated with longevity than a few legumes. Not to dis legumes; au contraire. Love 'em. (Just wish I was more successful at cooking them.) But I'm quite convinced that one cannot eat oneself to longevity.

I think whiling away an afternoon at an outdoor café with a friend, or a book, and a coffee or glass of wine, contributes to longevity. I’m working on it.
