What did you not appreciate as a kid, but do now that you’re older?

The value of good sleep, the sacrifices my parents paid for me, lower gas prices, Saturday morning cartoons, morals, committed marriages.

Soup Beans

I hated them as a poor mountain kid. Had to eat them all the them because – poor mountain kid. (They were and are dirt cheap).

Now, I love them. I think the big thing about this change is switching from Pinto Beans to Cranberry Beans in cooking. That, and the fact that I can season them more to my tastes. (I like things spicer than the rest of my family.)

I prefer cranberry beans as well, except in latino dishes. Dominican Rice and Beans or Desayuno de la Republica Dominicana are two of my favorites.

Today’s Question of the Day:

What is a book that you think every young person needs to read?

P.S. You can have a top five if you prefer. :slight_smile:

  • George Orwell - Animal Farm
  • Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - The Gulag Archipelago
  • George Orwell - 1984
  • Fyodor Dostoevsky - Crime and Punishment

That’s the vital ones, should be read somewhere in teenage years, so that young person would never be tempted to become some left / right moral relativist lunatic fed by propagandists all around.

George Orwell: 1984
Gustave le Bon: The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind
Tim Marshall: The Power of Geography - Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of our World

With these books young persons understand the world(politics etc.) in which we live a little more.
