Beans beans, the musical.

Too late too cook the soaked beans. Can probably be cooked tomorrow in the microwave.
Or frozen, until ready to use? (The fridge is full of potato salad coleslaw and a few items that need to go.

Note to self: sometime this week, make the breakfast burritos for the week. See how well they freeze.
Will be scrambled eggs, black beans (stripey Xmas limas?), shredded cheese. Needs something besides plain potatoes. Yams? Maybe spinach or herbs in the eggs.

Cold bean salad ideas from Student vegetarian:

Their pasta salad uses black beans--but these big beans with spiral pasta? Naw.

Apple raisin couscous uses garbanzos--might work without the raisins (or with craisins) but it's still a sweet salad. Maybe in the future.

These have promise--
Buttery Bean Salad: 15 oz can regular lima beans or green beans, tomato, scallion, parsley; lemon juice, olive oil and parmesan, optional. A bit bland, but could work.

White bean tomato salad: 15 oz can white beans, scallions, garlic, celery, tomato; lemon juice, dried basil, olive oil, red pepper flakes optional.

THIS sounds interesting:
Orange rice and black bean salad;
1/2 cup black beans, drained, cooked brown rice, celery, peeled and sliced Orange, scallion, cilantro. Walnuts optional.
Dressing: 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 TBS cider or balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg.

I see this with the Xmas beans, rice cooked in mix or orange juice and chicken stock (or veggie stock), the orange (or a red grapefruit OR a mango!), the scallion or red onion, and the cilantro. Pine nuts or pistachios.
Perhaps some shredded carrot. If I used a mango, I'd add red bell pepper.

And up the proportions on that dressing.

Off to bed. I'm setting the alarm for early, and hoping the body cooperates.
