refried beans



Recommended Posts

Usually they're made with pinto Beans, or maybe black beans. I believe the refried refers to the process, not the type of bean. Some places add lard, others don't.

i'm from S. Texas and here, refried Beans are pintos. If they refry a different bean, they'll say "Refried black beans". I've NEVER had red beans in a Mexican restaurant, either here, in Austin, or in El Paso where I grew up.

The Californian will defer to the Texan. I gotta stay out of those fancy fusion food joints!

JuliaN....I remember a friend telling me in San Fran she was SO happy to find a "hole in the wall" Mexican restaurant (often the best kind here in Texas) and walked in and they told her the special was something like tacos with fresh Arugula. LOL She walked back out and went to get seafood I think! :thumbdown:

We do have a lot of TexMex here but also a good bit of authentic Mexican cuisine. It's so good and helped make me the woman I am today! :cursing:

I'm feeling really great! I'm tired tonight (and I learned that my body thinks tired means EAT, not SLEEP! LOL) so I'm wrestlling with "full liquids" a little, but hanging in there. I know after a good night's sleep I'll be fine again! how are you doing?

I tried the muscle milk and its really good i needed something other than Isopure or isosure. mushies is good. I am trying to figure out how to get my ticker tape thingy to go on this thing. lol frustrating

I'm still just hanging with the "carb control' EAS AdvantEDGE shakes we stocked up on for preop. I'm (like everyone else!) just tired of sweet stuff and no chewing etc WAH WAH LOL but honestly I know it's just cuz I'm tired tonight. I got up at 445 after going to bed after midnight and I am not young enough to life that lifestyle any more! LOL

besides thurs nite I get mushies. I can hardly wait!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
