If you can't be bothered with changing the water, at least remove the foaming that occurs on the surface while the beans are cooking. Let me know if this helps  WELL (I'm going further off-topic here), I've had soaked dried beans, and it helps a BIT, but not very much unfortunately. I've also gotten rid of the water they'd been soaking in, but I haven't changed the cooking water before, so maybe that will help? |

Remember a couple of months ago back in March (I think?) I made a post about how I was finding it hard to stay vegan? And that I kept on reverting back to lacto-ovo? Well, good news! I've been back to vegan for a month now and I have a renewed sense of enthusiasm. AND I lost 8lbs since doing so (I gained weight during my flip flopping).  YAY! |
