In the pink

So, for the all those people held spellbound by the soap opera saga of the mystery of the purple pod beans, the next installment. Our lilac-flecked green pods picked a week ago, have indeed turned purple. Or to be absolutely accurate, a rather fetching crimson pink. And the dried peas (beans?) inside have lost their gunmetal-blue hue to become again the small black beans we planted in the spring. Will save some for planting and exchanging, but inspired to make chillies, soups and stews with the rest. Any good recipes, anyone?
