On a snowy day after hunting seasons over , than listening to the pressure cooker jiggle,,,,,knowing beans are for dinner,,,and corn bread too JeffW

Be better if I was there.... ;D Do you put syrup on your cornbread like I do? Every time my wife cooks a big old ham with some rind on it I begin to think about beans and cornbread. One of life's simple pleasures. She freezes both the cornbread and the beans so I can have it for lunch at work. Had some on Friday. Yummm! (The guy that sits in the other desk in our office hates it. The aftermath can be brutal... >:D)

MMMM, love me some beans! Problem with that is now my digestive system is adapted to them and I don't get the pleasure of being my own pressure cooker. Admit it, that's half the fun of eating beans!
Last week I did a batch of black beans made with guajillo peppers, added some chopped green peppers, onions, and diced tomatoes just at the very end. Dashed some flour tortillas off on my genuine lefse griddle so I could have fresh hor tortillas with the beans. A glass of Chasing Lions Cabernet Sauvignon and I had a meal. Would have been better with some caso fresco, but that's life.
Mmm, yeah, I love me some beans. Anywhere, anywho, anywhy.

Now remember,,I'm in way-upstate New York,,my roots are in the south west hub of Virginia and Italy so my corn bread has to be done in a black cast fry pan not sweet if I could get it I will put some sweet sorghum on my biscuts and corn bread :P I have one jar of sorghum from the moonlight barbecue in Kentucky left :o and I will save the bark off a ham and such we can't get that Virginia ham here in NEW York but that'll make good beans to and I all ways make extra corn bread and for my bed time snack I crumble corn bread in a water glass and fill it with butter milk and eat it with a spoon!! it's good with milk too you guys should try that some time Jeff

Once again you have some learning to do my friend. That's a symptom of old age JW. It's not that you're not pressure cooking anymore, it's that you can't tell anymore...but everyone else can. >:D >:D Ask me how I know... :'( :'( the wife reminds me. :-[ :-[
I like buttermilk and I like corn bread, but I can't imagine putting the 2 together. My wife buys dry beans on sale, mixes them together and has them on the counter in blue antique quart jars. Whenever I make a wild pork ham she takes a quart of them and makes us some soup. It's about the only time I get out my maple syrup I've been hoarding since moving to Texas. Cullinary heaven.

Ah, beans, a simple, yet complex food. Protein, and carbohydrate. Hence the bloating, and subsequent "Venting", or marking your territory...... :o :P;) I love buttermilk pancakes, and biscuits, but that is where the love stops! I don't even want to be at the same table with it. My family used to drink buttermilk, and My Dad would put his fried corn bread crumbled up in it. My Buddy's Dad would do the same, as well as my Grandfather. I couldn't stand the smell, or taste, or sight of it. Looked like, and smelled like Baby burp! :P :o And how the heck do you tell when it has gone bad?! Now back to the edible part, I love pinto beans, black beans, red beans, but my favorite is Ford Hook Lima Beans, with Knorrs leek soup mix, and onions, and granulated garlic, salt and pepper, Cajun season, and diced ham, or ham hocks! Man is that good! But for soup, I have to say, even being from the South, I do love Great Northern beans for soup! If you want to try something really good, instead of putting in a hamhock, or chunk of ham, slice up a Hilshire Farms, smoked sausage, turkey or beef, and put that in. Trust me it sho am some kinda good! Dang, I just ate, and my mouth is watering now!I was brought up on pan fried corn bread, not the Yankee style, though I do like it! Honey, or syrup was good, but just plain ol real butter, not that plastic stuff, that is NOT healthier! Beans, one of God's simple pleasures he bestows on us, yet it is like a tease for gluttony. Cold night, Chili! Cold night or day, Beans and ham, or parts there of. Prefferably smoked! Gotta have them sweet onions, and garlic also, and a dash or three of Cajun season! I like McCormick's Perfect Pinch, Original Chicken. It is good on chicken, steak, fish, pork, any kind of meat. I use it in just about everything. I stopped buying their granulated garlic however, since it is a product of China, and I don't want to be wondering if I am getting all garlic, or roach spit, factory dust, rodent droppings, and belly button lint, combined. Anywho, love them beans, a simple but satisfying repast, with corn bread, and a side of fresh home grown tomatoes, and onions,and sliced cucumbers, with salt and pepper, and a dash of Italian dressing, or just plain apple cider vinegar. Even with a nice chunk of home made French Bread, and some sharp cheddar cheese. 8) Now, what do I have in the fridge to snack on...... ::)

As a beekeeper (hobbyist) I was shocked to come across this information online:
http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/11/tests-show-most-store-honey-isnt-honey/
The Food And Drug Administration seems to be turning a blind eye on our food purity laws, but even more aggravating is the number of American honey producers that are buying up the cheap Chinese toxin-in-a-barrel and repackaging it as AMERICAN! The same businesses pushing for high tariffs on Chinese honey! Buy more honey, buy from local beekeepers, American bees need the work! Ok, whose next for the soapbox.
Oh, and I mentioned to my doctor that I don't seem to get any effect from beans anymore. He prescribed a sinus decongestant and has me scheduled to be fitted with hearing aids.

I like beans, OK...I guess. I mean, I come home and ask, "Honey, what's for dinner?" and she says, "beans". To be honest, I like beans, but it doesn't really grab me. I think to myself, she must be a glutton for punishment, since she knows for the next couple of days there will be this light green misty pungent fog around our house. We'll I guess that's the price you pay!!
