Bean Feed?

In a previous post, we described the Annual Conclave of the AALS, our parent body, as a “Bean Feed.”  Turns out some of you don’t know what a bean feed is.  It’s a term used in Missouri and other parts of the Plains States to describe a kind of public event that combines good food and great companionship at a very reasonable price.  Left, a typical bean feed.  Right, a fund-raising bean feed.
