Last year, I made two resolutions: win the lottery and be joyful. I succeeded in being as joyful as I could without actually winning the lottery. So, I have carried those two over to this year, added my word of the year “create” and included one more to the list. Eat more beans.
As a special education teacher, I can tell you that a goal that simply includes the word “more” is not a good goal. “More” can not be measured. So, I knew I had to do something to make “more” happen, without actually clarifying it in a poundage amount. Enter Rancho Gordo’s Year of Beans. For a short while last year, they offered a year of beans, where you signed up to receive a shipment of beans every few months. In that shipment would be beans (of course), and a special treat. This would guarantee “more”.
Above is my first shipment. Isn’t it beautiful.
Tune in tomorrow, same time, same bat channel to find out what I do with these. It’s good, I promise.

I eat beans at LEAST once a day, probably. I really should sign up for that rancho gordo thing ever do it again!
Oh that looks like one of the pans I was going to talk to you about, prepare for a e-mail sometime in the next few days! Also I've got a really really good bean with bacon soup recipe- simple and good type good--better the next day good. We do a lot of soups here, and beans. I'm really looking forward to this!
An entire shipment of beans sounds every bit as good as receiving a new cookbook in the mail. I need to sign up for this too!
I could eat beans everyday!
I do think that shipment is beautiful. I'm a bean fan. After seeing Larry's bean soup, I made some creamy white bean soup and have loved every single bite.
Can't wait to see what you do with these beans!
Love beans! The magical fruit - the more you eat, the more you toot!...I'll just go sit in the corner now.
Wow - that is beautiful! The problem with eating beans at my age is it can be embarrassing. I mean Tucson isn't windy like Chicago so there's no where to hide but then again I could just point a finger at my husband, raise an eyebrow and try and point the blame to another source, couldn't I? MMMM
Looks like you are stocked up for now and this seems to be a good source. They are $1 per pound less than my usual source - Seed Savers Exchange.
you crack me up batgirl~
so are you loving night circus? that was fast if you got that from your kindle library already :)
You're in East Tennessee and you have pinto beans. If you weren't you,I would know what to expect.
"Bat Channel," eh? Sounds like something I would say.
Don't you just love their beans? I think they are works of art myself... and they are delicious on top of it... you are inspiring me to get myself a new shipment!
A year of beans -- what a great idea! This is my year to eat more kale. And kale goes well with beans. Hmmmm.
Fun! I have always wanted to try their beans - maybe I need a sampler pack?
Running for the title of Bean Queen? ;)
Catching up on my reading tonight, Fun to see your photo over the The Kitchn!
