Moosewood Restaurant (January 3, 1973present) is an American natural foods restaurant in Ithaca, New York. In 1978, the original founders (Therese Tischler, Judy Barringer, Chris Miller, Patrick McGuire and three others)[citation needed] sold the restaurant to the staff, who became "The Moosewood Collective." In addition to producing a number of James Beard Award winning and nominated cookbooks (by the Moosewood Collective), The Moosewood Restaurant also won the James Beard America's Classics award from the James Beard Foundation in 2000.
Overview
Moosewood Restaurant was originally founded as a worker collective[1] on January 3, 1973[2] during the natural foods and Farm-to-table movements within the American counterculture.[3][4][5][6] According to the self-published 1974 Moosewood Cookbook (created by staff members), "a group of seven people started building [Moosewood Restaurant] in the fall of 1972," and the name was inspired by Patrick, one of the original founders, "who once read a book and in it was a character-a dog in fact' named Moosewood; it is also the name of a lovely striped maple tree."[2] Its original goal was to provide dishes made of "local, sustainable" food.[1][7][8] Although meat was served when the restaurant first opened, it was dropped from the menu.[9] The focus turned to natural foods that primarily featured vegetarian (and later vegan) dishes, but has also included pescetarian options on its menu and in its cookbooks.[9][10][11]
It was popular with countercultural icons: "Crosby and Nash once shared drinks at the bar, and Allen Ginsberg ended his dinner with a Moosewood brownie and black coffee. Even the Grateful Dead stopped by during their trip for Cornell's Barton Hall show, only to go unrecognized by the members of the collective."[8]

OP
Cook a pot of beans, then divide into smaller freezer dishes if you have freezer space to spare

I had to think about your post for awhile since I didn't understand the "hammocks" thing.

Austerity for people who are already suffering; Gatsby parties for the ones causing the suffering.

Thanks. It looks like the lower or low sodium beans are actually lower in sodium.
