Today I cooked up my little harvest of dry beans that I grew in my garden last year. This is the variety: http://www.seedsavers.org/onlinestore/bean/Bean-Hidatsa-Shield-Figure-OG.html I hovered over them all afternoon, as it was a small pot, and I had to keep adding water. I was rewarded for my diligence.   They are big fat beans. Plump and yummy. They are absolutely delicious. Creamy, mild flavored and utterly delightful. I wish I had more. I have enough to make one more meal of them. I may make biscuits to go with the second bowlful. Biscuits and honey. Yes. That's what I'll do. It's raining tonight. It's making a wonderful sound just outside my window. A sound that harmonizes nicely with my prayer of thanks to God.
