Beans Beans they're good for your heart ... you know the rest. Every time I see beans I think about my cousins, Pat and Abby, us standing on the fence at Memere and Pepere's brick house that they built BY THEMSELVES! Pat saying the rhyme over and over again. Well, beans have become one of the main staples of Ella's diet. They are soft and yummy. Tonight she had Pigeon Peas (Never heard of them before but they are good.), black beans, egg noodles, and dill (my favorite spice). She ate them all!! I could not believe it. Such a good eater!!
