Magical Fruit

For my birthday, my sister gave me some cold.hard.cash. to buy beans. This is my haul. I have a dish of them today -- Cannelini beans -- with roasted butternut squash and goat cheese. I went wrong on the dressing (sherry vinegar?) and on the other vegetable ingredient (radish sprouts). But the beans are beautiful.
They're FAR larger than the cannelini beans at the grocery, and I've blended them to bulk up a soup to good effect. Just this week, I followed a recipe for baked beans, and turned out a plump, gorgeous batch. (The recipe for baked beans is from the "Modern Vegetarian" cookbook, and calls for the following to spice: a quartered carrot, a celery sprig cut in half, one onion pierced with three whole cloves, a bay leaf, and some unpeeled garlic (+ kombu). Stir in, when the vegetables have seasoned plump beans and are discarded, 3T tamari, 4T maple, 2t dijon, and 2T olive oil. A terrific broth.
Will the popcorn be purple? Will the chia seeds improve the nutrients in my cells? Gosh, I hope so...
