@Val Yes- those are exactly what I have growing!
Last week I cooked some plain garbanzo beans in my slow cooker; I just soaked them in water, rinsed them, and cooked them on "low" with no salt for about 10 hours(!!) They were still pretty chewy. Over the week at work, starting on Monday, I had them as part of my lunch every day. but even though I LOVE garbanzos, I was getting tired of them. So, my next batch won't be so big. I'm planning on starting the garbanzos by themselves and then adding some brown rice when they're portly cooked, so everything will be done together. I'll probably set the cooker on "high", too.
I bought some black seedless grapes on my way home from work today. Yummmm….

I have made pancakes for breakfast this morning. I bought some beauty berry syrup from one of the regular vendors at the Farmer's Market Friday evening. It is really yummy! I never heard of beauty berries before!

Wow! I had to look it up: it looks delicious and really healthy,- i love astringent berries! It's not native to our area.
But we have oblepikha instead (sandthorn, seaberry). We make everything out of it, but most of the time - it's jam or chutney. It's a very effective natural remedy, because it's a powerful antioxidant and immunomodulator. Does it grow in your area?

I think I will try to grow beauty berry next spring! I should be able to find them at the plant event downtown. Since they are a native plant, I think they should be readily available.
