Guest guest Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Beans do take a long time to cook but they are worth it. I like to make bean soup out of the small white beans or the Great Northern beans--yum! Your recipe sounds really good, Akiba! My favorite is to cook pinto beans for bowls of beans or for refrieds.Congrats on the new slow cooker. That's the one electric appliance I truly miss since I live off grid.hugsSharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I usually "make" beans from a can, never really made them "from scratch", so they took a LOT longer then I thought (and the recipe insinuated). Last night they were still, well, not done. I'd added rice and kielbasa, and had cooked them with smoked ham hocks. Cut the meat off the hocks, etc...still not really good. SO we put the insert in the fridge and today put it back into the cooker and cooked for a few more hours. And ya know what? They came out great! Maybe that is why they are Great Northern Beans...??? Of course the other unexpected thing is I have enough to feed an impoverished country for a week...... ------- ~*~ Akiba ~*~ Pragmatic Visionary ~*~ Akiba ~*~ Pragmatic Visionary From: Sharon Date: 11/23/2011 8:24:15 PM To: MSersLife Subject: Re: Thanksgiving I hope you and Robbin feel wonderful tomorrow!

That should do it, not sure if I will have energy for more cooking then that, or eating, cuz when I get tired I can't eat, so I have to make sure I have enough energy left over to eat -- Thanksgiving Let us hope that every single one of us has a safe and reasonable,yet pleasant, holiday experience here in the U.S.For everyone else, here's hoping that you all have a safe day!Love,n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
