Beans, Beans....
Mon Sep 08 2008

I'm cooking a pot of beans. A large pot of beans. Maybe enough beans for a month.

I need to find all my single-dose storage containers so I can portion out each meal.

Just sampled a spoonful. The garbanzos and barley are done, but the beans need another hour of cooking. I think the soup needs a little more salt because the beans taste flat.

Okay, I added some more seasoned salt.  The soup is a little saltier than I like, but the beans should absorb the salty taste. At least that's the plan.

The kitchen sure smells good. If I had some bread flour, I could be baking. Oh, well. Store-bought bread is okay. Not the best like home-baked bread, but okay.

Actually, cornbread is what's needed.  But I don't have any cornmeal, either.

Tch!

    Yum. That sounds wonderful! I'm making a pot of split pea soup as I've got an extremely sore throat and can't fathom eating anything solid though some cornbread sounds really good, too.

    Our favorite meal (minus Calvin,,,he likes it,,,but it isn't near his fav) is pinto beans cooked all day with some ham hocks and corn bread. Yummy.

    I've been craving all kinds of slow-cooked foods, but it's still far too hot. We'll talk beans again when the HIGH temperatures are in the upper 60s, not the lows.

    I like using turnips in my bean soup instead of potatoes, it gives it just a little zip that 'taters don't have.

    Do you use turkey ham in your bean soup?

    OK, now I'm hungry...

    RYC: I'm trying to make things better but you're probably right. I'll just not send the card.That's the ticket to reconcilliation.

    RYC: *blinks, blinks*

    I was trying to do something nice and trying to make amends.

    You're probably right. I should just do nothing. That would fix the problem.
