Dry Beans ?

[satx78247]

YEP. And very cheap too at the "bulk sales area" of the bigger markets.- Often 1/4 the price of the "name brands".
(I see no reason to pay high prices for a paper sack/cardboard box with a label. - Real steel-cut oats are all the same = a natural cereal grain.)

the berries remind me of this off topic story of mine: there are these places near where my friend lives that sell really fancy frozen yogurt. basically you walk in, select a container size, fill your own frozen yogurt up, and then they have this fruit bar that has every gourmet berry you can imagine to add yourself, they then weigh it, and you pay a generic weight cost on what you made up...let's just say I was unimpressed by the yogurt, but got an amazing deal on a pound of fresh berries :grin:

I ate so much OATMEAL when I was a kid I almost get sick if I see it now. After we moved to the farm when I was about 8 we ate a lot better, partly because I helped produce it.

I do the steel cut oats. I will start the water to boil, add a dash of salt, then the oats and raisins, next I start adding whatever is at hand which might includs a diced apple, pecans and/or walnuts, pumpkin seeds and/or sunflower seeds, dried cherries and/or dried blueberries, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and anything else that sounds good at the moment. I let it all simmer for about 20 minutes or until the oats are tender enough (I like them just a tad chewy), and eat it with a tab of butter, a spoonful of honey and maybe some milk on top to cool it down if needed. I've even added yogurt to it.

If I have any left over, it goes in the refrigerator and I have mixed it in flapjack batter the next day.

My wife has never been a good breakfast cook, not because she can't cook, but because it takes a lot of coffee before she gets here mind in gear enough to cook, and always has; so I have always cooked breakfast if I wanted a fancy morning meal.

Added as a side to any breakfast.

What's a grit? :rotf:

 

[satx78247]

"Grit" is the singular of "grits" & "grit" is a variation of the old English word, "grytt", meaning "coarse meal".

Chicken feed.... :wink:

 

[satx78247]

My advice: Do NOT eat a single bite of grits, as we "good 'ole rebs" don't want to share our bounty with "outlanders".

No worries... :haha: But I did make homemade flour tortillas for supper....Of course they were kind of like a pita or Naan bread....and I did dip them in herbs and olive oil like the Italians...
I almost made it all the way round the world in one bite.... :haha:

They call that fussion cooking. Slip on your historic outfit and take to the woods. Do some fishing and make dinner...some cos cos in your tin pot, cut up you fish as some shishmi, a little bottle of south American corn beer. Aint we cosmopolitan.

That's FUNNY & I don't care who you are.

Btw, remind me sometime to tell you about eating "yagi sashimi", OCONUS a long time ago.

anytime I eat raw fish it reminds me of how much I miss a deep fryer and tabasco :hmm:

 

[satx78247]

Beans hardly ever run out of gas. Neither do the bean-EATERS. But as Clyde says, "keeps the skunks out of camp."

Btw, inasmuch as we are about to get another major storm event & the temperature will fall after dark, I'm making Congressional Bean Soup in my biggest (3 gallons) crockpot, as soon as the navy beans are soaked.

Then cornbread for Sunday & bowls for everyone who wanders into the house.

Beans corn bread and good company, Gods gift to simple men :thumbsup:
