FB made something called french onion pot roast last night and homemade hoagie rolls. Never had it before, but it was absolutely delicious. If I had to describe it, I would say it's soul warming. Just thought I would pass it along, doubt you'll be disappointed. I checked and there's lots of recipes on the internet. All I know is she carmalized 5 garden yellow sweet spanish onions in butter, for the recipe she used.

baked beans. i'm expecting to be lit up for breakfast. :)
I love baked beans. There was a BBQ place in town that is closed now. they had the best baked beans had 4 differnt kinds of beans including huge ones, I think they were lima beans. So much flavor in those 4 beans.

the recent baked beans were made from the last batch of 4 gallons of beans i cooked up. when i'm sorting beans or going through my collection and paring it down i keep a container marked "Eating Beans" and anything that is edible can go in those, so i can only guess at how many varieties of beans are in there, but at times it is easily over 100. i have one last container of those beans that will get cooked up next time i do a big batch.

i have to get ready for the next round of planting and that also means going through the collection and deciding which ones i'm not growing again. so yet another container of "Eating Beans" is already started, but whenever i cook it will get included with other bulk beans to make up a big enough batch. sometimes Mom buys Navy Pea Beans or Great Northern Beans because she likes those to add more and they make a nice contrast for all the darker beans. i don't grow either of those - they're beans i've grown up eating and have probably eaten over a thousand lbs of them through the years - i don't dislike them in terms of flavor, but i don't find them visually interesting so i don't want to devote time and space to growing them when they can be easily purchased for not much $. besides i have a lot of other projects i'd like to have that space for growing and then my own bulk beans. one of which is called Yellow Eye and it is a good soup bean so i would rather grow that one instead.
