    • Hi Rini, yes, have tried it with tinned kidney beans as well. I just think the water that comes with the tinned ones are more viscous–but not that I really mind. Almost no difference.

  1. We will try this sometime soon, by the way, I just posted an article on Tabo Tabo-ing 🙂 about water saving.
    Also, recently I came across this and really want to expose this to all Filipinos, especially to the ones who really worship the USA (I know a few, you probably do too) – please share:
