a cop-out

My fellow bloggers here make their recipes into adventures. Turkeys being mugged on the fire escape, cats playing scrabble, and so forth. My offering today is in a minimalist vein, very much influenced by my churlish attitude about the new regime applicable to the so-called "food" chez nous. We are asked to produce beans. Here goes:

• Pour a bunch of mixed dried beans into a saucepan, looking the other way.
• add water and soak. This is the virtuous part. Was informed that frozen beans from Whole Foods tasted "musty."
  
• Pour off soaking water and add a lot of vegetable stock. This is the prophylactic part.
• add 1 T of super-hot never-cooked salsa from the g-store.
• chop and add a head of baby bok choy.

Cook and eat. It's actually pretty tasty.
