Not that she cooked them WELL, mind you - in fact it's a general rule that the worst way to cook a lot of things was Josephine's way - but she did cook unusual stuff, from some people's standpoint.

Yes, beans are one of my primary sources of protein! Sometimes I'll make an egg and bean concotion for breakfast, and I feel full all day long.

I asked Ray today if I could get some steak for dinner tonight, if the budget could cover it. The way he answered, I gather he's tired of the tofu/bean/egg/cheese alternatives I've used to stretch our food budget while I've been on disability. He's such a good man, not to complain. Other women tell me their husbands won't eat veggies, other than potatoes, and the entree better have a lot of meat in it. I don't know what I'd do if Ray were like that.
