When I went with Elizabeth to Costco on Friday I bought a large box of edamame in little plastic individual bowls. The cuteness factor was enough for me, but I'd also decided I needed a new go-to food to keep my hands and mouth busy so I'll forget I really really like cookie dough filled Pop Tarts (at 400 calories a pouch.)

After asking her about the high fat content, my sister had to burst my eating-well bubble by stating, "You know these are not vegetables, right? They are a legume." I had no choice but to respond, "Your face looks like a legume." My maturity amazes me.
