And the Secret Ingredient is ...

As thanks for helping with an oral presentation, an Asian colleague just gave me a red bean popsicle. Quite literally, it is red bean soup frozen, beans and all, onto a stick in the shape of a normal popsicle, and I'm talking 50% beans by volume. Once you get past the revolting concept and chewy texture of the boiled bean based popsicle, the legumes are refreshingly flavorless. I just hope the next time I help, she is distinctly less grateful.
