Joanne Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The consistency was different, but the taste was fresher, more depth, and yummy. The boys were a bit amazed at the dried beans, soaking, cooking, mashing process. Yum-O. Oh, and dinner was the chicken boiled and the meat shredded into a casserole of rice, veggies, and cream of chicken. The boiling water and some aromatics and a splash of vinegar are in the crock pot. There is still meat, which I may use for burrito filling. I'm thinking of some white bean soup later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wonder if Joanne remembered to rinse the beans? :tongue_smilie: Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wonder if Joanne remembered to rinse the beans? :tongue_smilie: Bill Soaked in a (probably poisonous) crock pot all night in cold water. Drained. Rinsed. Covered again in water, back in crock pot on low. Eventually added some diced ham. Thanks for the concern. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wonder if Joanne remembered to rinse the beans? :tongue_smilie: Bill :lol: I don't know why that comment tickled me so much. Joanne, you've inspired me, I really need to make some beens. Don't forget to sift the beans for rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Laughing at Bill... Joanne, you have a "lift" in your voice--it feels good to do the things you need to to provide for your fam, doesn't it? :D:grouphug: It's the little things--like beans in a crockpot.

UmMusa Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm afraid not to do it Bill's way. I think a second rinsing is in order after they've cooked, right? These bean threads are giving me courage. I might try them one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
