It is new year tomorrow and i decided to share this with you guys. Some people may like, 'beans, of all foods?' Yes, beans.
I love beans! With dodo,it is just superb, especially ewa oloyin (the sweet brown beans). I got married and almost gave up eating my beans! Why? Hubby purges seriously when he eats it. A spoonful can make him have a revisit to the white house. I was worried, trust me. I mean, beans is like the cheapest and most available source of protein here and raising your children without it, well, i don't know and of course,i wouldn't get to share eating it with him. So, i tried some varieties- beans porridge with lots of dodo and efirin (scent leaves), ordinary beans with stew but none helped. I even encouraged him to eat it with bread or gari, believing these two would stop the running stool,but no way. I gave up trying to make him eat but as soon as he got out of town,haba, sharp sharp, i resumed duty.
Then early this year, ewa oloyin became scarce. The white beans in the market was badly affected by last year's flood and i couldn't get to eat beans. It was not right but i managed. New beans came and still no brown beans. The brown beans i got was not oloyin and it was very expensive. So, i gave up. Surprisingly, my husband suggested i tried the white beans. Now, it is not as if i had not eaten the white beans before, at least it was the most common one back in the days but it's been long i took it. So, i bought some, made a porridge, fried plantain and even offered my husband some. And he ate it! It was little though. And he did not go to the toilet! He was surprised too. I thought it was a fluke. The following weekend, we ate the white beans and he still did not visit the toilet. Hurray! And again and again and again. And now, he is a perfect beans eater!
I GET TO EAT BEANS WITH MY FAMILY! HURRAY!!
Beans is a food rich in protein and when prepared with palm oil, dried fish and/or dried crayfish with a little salt, it is perfect for growing children. You may also enjoy it with dodo, bread, gari, yam or corn,if you are not diabetic. So, go into the new year and enjoy your beans anytime. Wishing all of us the best of health in the year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

@ Tee-gurlee, you won't waste it. Cook little and accompany it with any nice food on your plan e.g , boiled unripe plantain and vegetables. Good luck and happy new year.
