NO DMs...I will block you. Married with 2 adult children and two grandchildren. Blue leaning but in a red state. I write but have a terrible case of writer's block ATM.
Social worker in a past life. Singer in an even more distant past. Vegan for 12 years.
I think bean mixes are problematic. You have too many different sized beans. Something like a lentil will be tender in an hour, but larger beans could take 3 to 4
hours.
Have you tried a crock pot, cooking the beans overnight? Soak all day in cold water, cook on low all night. Season and enjoy!

It can be tough in the beginning! When I first went vegan, I allowed myself one cheat a week. But it's been 13 years now. I don't miss anything anymore.😆 Not even cheese. But I know lots of vegans who are vegetarian when eating out or traveling, and a few who are pescatarian once a month.

It's kinda like raw chicken breast. You don't eat it right out of the package!
Press, marinate, bake or air fry.
Tofu also has choline, which is essential to building muscle and helps brain health.
I'm glad it's catching on with omnivores.

That can't be right. That would be like saying "Putin, we're going to sanction you...unless you refuse, then we won't do it."
