My grandmother made the most excellent navy bean soup. She grew up on a farm, cooking for a big table of field hands, and continued after she got married cooking for weekly big suppers at the church.
Anyway, like I was sayin’, beans is the fruit of the land. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, bean-kabobs, bean creole, bean gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple beans, lemon beans, coconut beans, pepper beans, shrimp beans, beans stew, beans salad, beans and potatoes, beans burger, beans sandwich. That- that’s about it.
