Still have a lot to learn


So, my whole point in making brownies with beans was because I want to learn how to cook dried beans from my food storage. But I cheated with those and used a can of black beans. Yesterday I actually tried to do the real thing and cook pinto beans. I have always ended up with undercooked beans in the past, but this time they were soft -- just a little black on the bottom.

I'm so bad. I've got hundred of pounds of dried beans & I always go for the can! I've heard that you can under-cook them a bit & freeze them in portion sizes. I'll let you know about it if I ever get around to trying it out!

I have a lot of beans, too, but haven't used any of them yet. :) I should probably practice too!
