i purchase excessive quantities of beans. every time i turn around it seems my favorite beans are on sale at the grocery store. who can possibly resist 3 cans of Ranch Style Beans (with Jalepenos!) for a mere $0.99? that's so cheap it's practically free. as a matter of fact, i would be an irresponsible shopper not to buy the beans. sometimes i even branch out and buy Ranch Style Black Beans (with Jalepenos!) to add a little variety to my life (and my pantry). so, you see, that's how i end up with a massive bean stock-pile in my pantry. i really do love these beans. i squash them and put them on my nachos (quite delicious, i might add!). i throw them over a bed of white rice and sprinkle a little cheese on top. i roll them in a tortilla. and when i'm all out of bean accoutrements, i just have beans straight up! uses for beans are truly manifold!

i don't eat bush beans, but rooolll that beeee-utiful bean footage anyway!
