Maureen McCormick may like beans and rice as much as she liked kissing Gary Williams, otherwise known as Greg Brady, from the 70s series they starred in, The Brady Bunch.
“I had a mad crush on Barry at the time,” McCormick said, according to Palm Beach Post. “He’s single now, by the way.”
McCormick said she’s a vegetarian, and eating lots of the two foods together is how she gets her protein.
Interesting…
Two years ago, PETA sent McCormick a letter asking her to go vegetarian, insisting the diet would help her maintain her trim figure she obtained from Celebrity Fit Club.
Bet the animal rights group is smug knowing they can claim her as a victory.
Traditionally, kidney or black beans first come to mind when a dinner for beans and rice is suggested, but that shouldn’t stop you from exploring other legumes.
If you like hummus, you might love chickpeas, as the garbanzo bean is what’s mashed up and blended with spices to create the dip accompanied with pita chips.
If you’ve ever eaten an Asian meal with red bean paste, you’ve probably tasted the azuki bean, the tiny reddish brown bean grown in Asia and the Himalayans, that taste incredible over a salad as well.
Maybe McCormick will talk about her bean experiences in the follow up to her 2008 book she’s writing.
