I made my first batch of Great Northern Beans and Ham, I remember my mom made these when I was growing up. My first batch was very good, it should give me several meals over the next week. I think I like these beans better then the pinto beans. I found one online store that sold these in bulk, but could not find anything local, just 16 oz bags. I just used the beans, ham, and spices. I read a bunch of recipes online, that add onions carrots and such, but I didn't have them. It might seem funny that I am just now discovering how good beans can be, but it is true. Evidently not only do they taste very good, but are also good for you, my doctor even said so. I just needed to share this some where. :blush: :)

One can nearly live off beans alone if they had to.

When i make a batch of New England baked beans, I freeze the leftovers in pint mason jars. those jars hold just the right amount for my wife and I to have one serving each. Usually I'll make a batch after cooking a smoked pork shoulder to use up the leftover meat. It's an all day affair making them, but really zero effort required, just get 'em going in the morning in a dutch oven and check them every couple hours or so. Boy does the house smell good while they're cooking :)

I just had to go over to the utoob and give a like on that one! Wife is picky on veggies, but loves them roasted, I'm going to have to show her the bag trick...( so I don't have to clean the extra bowl she dirties when I let her cook ) LOL

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the saloon. I actually quit vaping back in September. I gave all my vape gear to a friend. A bit of stress recently gave me the desire to start vaping again. My friend offered to give me back all my old stuff. It’s comforting to hold my old friends again. Soooo much better than cigarettes!

Nice to see things haven’t changed too much around here!

Welcome back. You've got a good friend there.
