Now this not a bean story but when I first moved to Kentucky, I was working in a small rural hospital in the out back. At Christmas some of the women brought in country ham and beaten biscuits, now this ole Kansan thought he had died and found heaven despite many transgressions. I fell on that stuff like a crazy person. I will never miss a gathering that promises a home cured country ham and home made beaten biscuits. (Much to Mrs CMD's humiliation.)

You BEAT the (poor) biscuits???

Why, what did they do?

Has any of you ever tried Panera's black bean soup? It's a vegetarian recipe and as a vegetarian myself I've made a copy cat recipe many times. It tastes spot on to the original. I suppose you could add some sort of meat in it.

Copy-cat Panera black bean soup

1 onion, chopped
2 small veg bouillon cubes
1/2-1 teaspoon cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup boiling water
1/4 large red bell peppers
2 cans black beans, undrained

In a pot, combine the first six ingredients; simmer for 10 minutes. Add half a can of beans, salt and cumin; cook for 5 minutes. Puree soup. Add the rest of the beans to the soup. Combine the cornstarch with 1 1/2 tablespoons of water. Add enough water to make soup 5 cups.

Enjoy!

Black beans are my absolute favorites, love me some black beans and rice, or Cuban black bean soup. Cheap eats that fills the belly, warms the heart, and sooths the soul

I have no idea why they got those poor hunks of dough, beat the life of them, then shape them they way they like them and, to top it off, put them in an oven and bake them to utter perfection - but they do.

I've pounded poor little breasts (chicken, you pervs), and I've hammered nuts (whole walnuts for cookies, you PERVS), but I have NEVER, I swear, beaten a biscuit!

I was getting kind of nervous until your first set of parenthesis; that blight of nerves got only worse until your second parenthesis. Better a biscuit beaten than a breast or a nut.

Are they flaky? If so, best guess is that they beat them thin, fold em and beat em thin again...rinse repeat...traps a little air and create thin layers of dough which would puff up when baked.

Maybe their kids just ticked em off though, and they beat on the dough to spare answering questions to DCS?...

Mmmmm, black beans and rice, yummmm!!!

As a vegetarian I go through a lot of legumes and until recently used the low salt canned variety. I used to have a pressure cooker I used to cook the dry beans in and I killed it after many years of use. I recently treated myself to an Instant Pot and no more cans. And it also slow cooks which is a good thing because my crock pot is ancient and on its last leg…I still have the old fashioned green crockpot without an insert from when they first came out, lol.

Actually, they are kind of hard, if Mrs Enaud threw one at you and being dead of eye, hit you, she would be answering the DCS questions.

maybe it's a good thing I don't let her cook too often then

Tomorrow I'm going to try an make some gluten free biscuits, been a long time since I had a biscuit, and this talk has given me a hankering for some...got rid of the rolling pin quite some time ago, guess a wine bottle will have to suffice

Don't let her near beaten biscuits if you have irritated her. I know.
