The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

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
