I am cooking chick peas. I put about a cup, dried, in a jar to soak. And now they are swollen to sufficient plumpness that I have put them in the rice cooker to boil. After doing so, I put a handful each of dried baby lima beans and dried hominy to soak for tomorrow's three sisters stew (have to run out and get a squash at some point).

I am a frugality geek. My income does not matter to this; I could start selling books and making Stephen King money tomorrow, and I would still get a charge out of knowing I'd made a big pot of soup for abut a dollar, or hummus and pita for 50 cents. (I use the rice cooker because it's about half a cent cheaper than gas. Woohoo!)
