My wife has made beans a few times, but mostly not worth the effort. You
can buy many varieties of beans too so you don't even have to doctor up
the plain ones if you want a specific type.

We don't make jelly and preserves either. Locally we can buy Trappist
brand (made by the Monks) and they are very good. For a few jars a year,
not worth the making.

I've thought about crackers just so say I did it, but never got around
to it.

OTOH, hard to find a cake as good as home made.
