Default Tonights Dinner


Last week I bought a bag 'Frontier Soups' 11 bean soup mix and it's simmering
away on the stove as I write. The bag came with a recipe which I've followed
and even though not completely done, it's shaping up to be quite good.

Their recipe called for a ham hock, 29 ounce can of Italian plum tomatoes, cut
up; diced onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and 12 cups of water. All I had was the large can of petite diced tomatoes so in it went after simmering for
three hours. At that time I fished out the two sliced ham hocks, and added the other requirements along with two 8-ounce packages of diced ham and one 8-ounce package of cubed ham. I thought I had grabbed two packages of cubed ham but no
matter; the ham hock went back in too, after picking off the fat and discarding
the bones.

The recipe on the package called for smoked Kielbasa and chicken breast
pieces but I decided to stick with all ham. Package proclaims it to be gluten
free for those interested.

The kitchen timer just went off and I gave a taste and yes, it is VERY good.
I've portioned out a good size bowl and will let it cool for a few minutes.

Several years ago a friend gave me a bag of 7-bean soup mix and that recipe
called for chili powder and I had serious doubts. But it was outstanding
and I've not been able to locate another inclusive bag like that so when I
saw this one at the grocery I snapped it up.

I'll probably make some beef tomato - not the Cantonese dish but Hawaiian beef tomato. This morning, I made some pancakes for the wife and kids. Thanks to the Krusteaz Co., I can whip up some batter in less than a minute.

I've used lots of those mixed bean packages, and always had good
results, though, like Joan, I usually deviated from the package recipe.

The only trouble I ever had was occasionally the garbanzo beans were
still a little hard after all the others were done. But only once in
a while ... probably just a bad batch.

They cost a little more, but are worth it unless you eat tons of
beans like Julie, or don't mind storing a dozen partly used bean
packages.

Yes, that is my understanding.

I don't think I have 11 different kinds of dried beans. Maybe 7. I was
thinking of making bean with bacon soup.

I figured you would have every known legume in your pantry.

Bean with bacon can be very good with only one type of bean.

You don't really need 11 types of beans.

Nope. I get whatever they sell at Winco. Some beans look pretty but their
taste is no better than the cheap ones. Once in a while I'll get something
fancy at Whole Foods.
