Missing Beans

Yup, this is me, just happy-go-lucky all the time:

Hello, my happy friend. You have high spirits and
know how to have a good time. When your friends
go out, most likely they invite you almost all
the time. You most likely will enjoy your
Halloween. Good for you. Keep up the
excitement. You probably light people's dark
days with your smiles and laughter. Although
you're good, doesn't mean you're an angel. You
can tend to have a scary and/or other type of
side to you. As long as you have fun, do your
scares this Halloween. Have a safe and happy
one, Joyous Pumpkin.

In the category of things that make you wonder, apparently dried fava beans are not to be had in the area. I phoned every high-end grocery (and some of the low-end ones) looking for dried fava beans yesterday, and no one even would admit to carrying them. 'We've never carried that,' sniffed the manager of one store, as though I had asked for a quart of goat's blood. Have fava beans gone out of fashion? Should I blame it on Hannibal Lecter? A vegetable in cultivation for at least 5,000 years, unavailable? Baffled, I am. Just baffled.
