    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    Garbanzo beans are so much better in Spain

    Fava beans are very large, white, and kidney shaped, usually with a skin that gets removed after the first boil. This is our first year growing them, so we haven't enjoyed them yet. (WI-USA)

    I think it would be very nice to have sugar/honey/maple syrup, oil, salt, pepper, vinegars, lemon juice, soy sauce, condiments-?, and plant milk available, near or at the table. (that is what one of my kitchen counters has on it!) The reason many vegetarian/vegan/whole food plant based diets...
