Lunch today started with a healthy portion of these chocolate legumes (Milkies - "lentils") and rice (chocolate-covered sunflower seeds). According to Wikipedia, eating red beans and rice on Mondays "is an old custom from the time when ham was a Sunday meal and Monday was washday. A pot of beans" (maybe with a little leftover ham from the previous day) "could sit on the stove and simmer while the women were busy scrubbing clothes."
