I used to soak them overnight and then boil in the morning for 45 min. or so... well till you take a spoonful and blow across the them, and if the skins curl back on the beans they are ready for the crock(not a crockpot) that goes in the oven for several hours.<br />But if you forget to soak them over night you can boil them in the morning for 5 min. then let them sit for an hour with the cover on.. but you still have to do the second boil. <br />They are just one of those meals that need to tended.Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498536450964913359.post-32258749687715929422014-12-02T03:45:02.021-08:002014-12-02T03:45:02.021-08:00I'll be using the cast iron as well, it seems....I'll be using the cast iron as well, it seems. Minding the pot. Sigh. Oh well, makes for better beans.<br /><br />Wouldn't that be funny, if I found your door. I don't have a number on mine. But they have me mapped, at least a good aerial view.

I'm living in a developing country... we're still working with cast iron stew pans here... and they cost a small fortune too...<br /><br /><br />I'd never thought about the CAPTHCHA's before (of course not).<br />But you're right...<br />If you ever come accross a nice number 14, just knock and come in :)<br /><br /><br />stephanie<br /><br />stephanie clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034801969843868850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498536450964913359.post-66686800208685110422014-11-30T05:27:16.740-08:002014-11-30T05:27:16.740-08:00There ya go!
