I had a lot of baked beans when I was young but they were always canned
and I never developed a great appreciation for them. A couple times I
have had home made baked beans and they were much better. Last month my
son took me to a BBQ joint in Buffalo and they had beans that were
incredible.

Realizing how good they can be, I looked up some recipes and was all set
to give them a try. I was planning to use a recipe that called for a
pound of bacon. Today I had to go to a store to get some things for a
pot luck family thing tomorrow and planned to get some bacon and some
beans. I was surprised to find they did not have navy beans. They had
pinto beans, kidney beans, black eye peas, yellow peas, green peas,
several varieties of lentils, but now navy beans.

Dang. I was looking forward to some good beans.
