These (black bean wraps) are pretty good, especially for the small amount of prep involved.  I think it has taken me a long time to admit that I am a very lazy cook.  Unfortunately I'm also of the mentality that buying some ingredients (like, say, stock) pre-made is cheating, so I just end up eating really plain, boring stuff.  At least that doesn't extend to beans...though I would like to start using dried beans instead of canned ones again.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about hamburgers--specifically, what it would be like to eat one.  I don't want one, I've just been imagining what the sensation must be like.  I didn't like them when I ate red meat, but I was an elementary school kid then and my tastes have changed a lot. At any rate, I can't remember what it's like. 

I'm okay with never knowing.  I'm not sure that my changing tastebuds would make me like hamburgers anyway--I think what bugged me about them was the very occasional bit (or even the possibility of) a bit of bone getting ground into the burger.  That's different from disliking the taste of mushrooms or onions (which I now enjoy.) 

Bone meal (used in gardening) and cow bones don't gross me out. I'm not squeamish. I just don't want bone fragments in my food.
