I've pretty much been on the BEANS AND RICE diet for ten years, and while supplementing it with avocados (when available/affordable - one more reason So.Cal. is awesome!), salsa fresca (tomatoes, onions, chiles and lots of GARLIC), and corn tortillas (always corn tortillas!), I've managed to stay a healthy, strong, 6'0", 150 lbs., in spite of all the beer. Or maybe, thanks to all the beer. Still haven't figured that one out.
Anyway. BEANS. RICE. Totally...
