Santa gave me a package of Dad's No Brainer Baked Beans (Hidden message in there?) for Christmas. I have no idea what prompted that gift though it was much appreciated.
Well, the package had been sitting in the cupboard since Christmas and several times I said to Nong, "I must remember to soak those beans overnight." Of course, it was usually the morning when I remembered about it and promptly forgot by the evening. Oh, yeah, I sometimes left them out all day...and still forgot.
Finally got around to it this week. Dumped the package of beans in a pot after supper and let them do their thing. By 8 pm they were already halfway up the bowl...like bread rising!
In the morning, I followed the directions (yes, men can sometimes follow directions given the right incentive) and the beans were on simmer for over 6 hours.
Lunch yesterday was something I had not eaten for probably 50 years...baked beans on toast. Great! I resisted the urge to rush out and buy some pickled eggs!
Told Nong she had better have some, too... out of self defense!
Thanks again, Santa!
See ya, eh!
