If they soak overnight, you can cook them up in an hour / hour and a half the most.

Add this to the beans:
1 packet of Sazon Goya con Culantro y Achiote - optional
2 tsp Garlic salt
2 tbsp Onion Powder
Dash of black pepper
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Dash of Cumin
Dash of oregano
2 splashes Cooking Wine

Serve with white rice and picadillo. :-D

Unghhhh...

You know, beans are the one thing I've had trouble with at this altitude. Drives me nuts, 'cause I love 'em. But they take three times as long and sometimes never *quite* get soft.

I cheat sometimes and use the canned ones, if I'm in a hurry.

And I just add my own seasoning.

To prepare Black Beans:

Collect beans.

Add one 16 oz can Krylon (TM) Gloss or Flat Black*.

Color to taste.

*Satin is Elfy.

That's probably what I should do. But canned beans often seem so *slimey*, even when rinsed.

In any case, the altitude may no longer be a factor at some point...

Also remember that I am planning to have kids one of these days and don't really want to know all the grim details yet :-D

Depends on the brand. I like Iberia. They taste good and aren't too slimy.

It may seem like it at the time, but it won't be quite so big in your case ;~D
