I have this indulgence that is awesome because I never feel bad about it. I'm convinced that even if it has a little bit of bacon in it, that it is good for me. I get this whole-hearted satisfaction from it. Maybe it has to do with loving it ever since I was a kid and how soothed and secure it made me feel in a not always so soothing and secure world. It's such a simple and actually healthy indulgence. It's a bowl of beans. Not just any bowl of beans, but a bowl of whole pinto beans and the broth they've been cooked in. I like them to have a little kick of spice to them and right before eating, I squeeze lemon juice into my bowl. I'm telling you if chicken soup is good for the soul, then beans and broth are good for my entire being.
