Should chili beans be drained and washed before adding to Chili?
Certainly, if I were making a salad with canned beans, I would thoroughly rinse them first. But if I'm making soup or chili with canned black beans or kidney beans, should I drain and rinse them first? Goya brand beans have recipes on the side of the can that call for undrained beans.

Legumes, which are also known as beans or pulses, are plants that can return nitrogen to the soil with the help of nitogen-fixing bacteria. Legumes can also be characterized as flowering plants that protect their seeds (beans) inside of pods. Legumes are members of family Fabaceae (legumes) and subfamily Faboideae (edible legumes). Legumes include soybeans, green beans, sweet peas, chickpeas, lentils, fenugreek seeds, peanuts, clover sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, rooibos tea, honeybush tea, astragalus root powder, and all common beans. Studies indicate that people who eat legumes regularly have longer life expectancies because of a lower risk of developing heart disease, stroke, cancer, and a dozen other killer diseases.

Can you start a catalpa tree from the seeds within the bean?
I haven't tried to grow a catalpa from seed. However, the way that catalpa seedlings grow abundantly near mature trees I have observed--both in eastern and western Massachusetts--suggest they grow easily. My theory is that snow plowing has a lot to do with getting the beans buried and off to the sides of roads or parking lots, where they manage to grow without interference from lawn mowers or other controlled landscaping.
