Kidney beans do not agree with me. In fact, we are having a major disagreement.

Imma watch some TV.

In that case, watch out for cannellini (white kidney) beans, broad beans, and fava beans, which have high amounts of the same toxin (Phytohaemagglutinin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytohaemagglutinin)).

I think most beans have it, but in safer levels. Generally speaking, it's safest to boil all your dried beans for a bit before cooking. I bring them to a boil for ten minutes or so and then cut the heat and leave them to soak for cooking.

I also love beans a ridiculous amount. Mmm beans.

Hey, I don't know all the lyrics to I Love Beans. Is there a Youtubage for this? *hopes*

There was the FUNNIEST Cowboy Bebop AMV to this song (it looked like they just dubbed the song over the opening convenience store scene in the movie, and it worked ridiculously well) but it was in the pre-YouTube era and the girl who made it took her site down when she left the fandom (?) and now, as far as I know, it is lost to the ether. D:

(At least I think it was the same song ... how many songs are there called 'I Love Beans'?)

Completely ignore the video part. I tried to find a version that wasn't a stupid slideshow...
