I had already made the meatloaf, so I wondered what to make to go with it aside from the ever useful potatoes.
Beans, I thought. I am going to make a pot of beans.
I live in Mexico where beans is as important a part of the daily menu as is pizza to norte americanos, our brethren north of the border.
Beans.
I rinsed out my bean pot and dumped a bag of beans into it, added water and thought...wow..maybe I overdid the amount.
Never mind.
I started the process and now I have a pot of beans and enough to feed a small family.
I shall have to freeze some and that is fine too. I have come across recipes ( mostly for chile con carne) calling for cans of beans. All I have to do is to dig some bag of beans out of the freezer and use that. Simple.
And I do like beans. Seriously.

I too love beans, specialy the canned ones in tomato sauce. Many years in the army have made me love it, and it goes well with some danish bacon. That would make at feast in the old days, to day - I just love it.
