  • I’ve been on a bean kick since I found bags of 15 bean soup mix for less than $3. The creamy large Lima beans are my fave. I toss the ham flavor in the trash and make a batch with whatever I have on hand. The following batch was my favorite so far:

    • 20 oz 15 bean soup - soaked overnight
    • Two small white onions - diced and browned with a pinch of salt and sesame oil
    • Eighth red cabbage chopped and browned in a skillet
    • 2 celery stalks diced
    • 6oz crimini mushrooms coarsely diced and browned - finely dice stems
    • 6oz white button mushrooms coarsely diced and browned
    • 1/4 cup textured veggie protein
    • 1 heaping tbsp chili powder
    • 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 2 tsp potassium salt
    • 1 tbsp MSG
    • Half tsp cracked black pepper
    • Half tsp garlic powder
    • Half tsp paprika

    The biggest thing to remember is to make sure that you get the rehydrated beans in a good boil for at least 10 minutes to denature the toxic proteins, otherwise you’ll have an upset stomach.








  • I think it’s great that you’re willing to offer help to those in need. $500/mo is enough to really help you out with expenses, but likely cheaper than they’re able to find elsewhere. Especially considering that the environment is supportive and safe for them.

    That being said, I would strongly recommend getting them to sign well-defined contracts that you get from a real-estate lawyer to help shield you in the case of it turning sour.

    My coworker just got finished with a year-long legal battle trying to kick out someone that he allowed to bunk in a spare room for a few months (completely free). Despite them not paying room or board they were classified as tenants and therefore had legal protection that they took every advantage of and made my co-worker’s life hell. I’m all for strong tenant protections, but there’s always going to be the exceptions that abuse the system. I would follow your heart on the payment side, but insist on contracts to protect your livelihood. Don’t let a good deed ruin you.
