    @Shelby and @caroled and me would toss those beans into some water that a ham hock had boiled in for about an hour, cook them for about 4 hours and then toss in some tiny little new potatoes that a strip of skin had been peeled off of all the way around and boil some more until the taters were tender and the beans soft, unctuous and uniformly olive green.  And you'd HAAAATE them.  LOL.

    Chris stopped  by a farm stand and the lady tried to give him 2 plastic grocery bags of beans that had bean sitting all  day. He wanted to pay her something so she finally accepted .75c.  After stringing and snapping, we had 3 gallons of beans.

    Yesterday I cooked a big pot like this, minus the ham and potatoes,, but with a nice chunk of ham jelly. Cooked for app. 2 hours. They do get the khaki green color, but these held their shape nicely. Chris said they were the best he's had in an age.

     So good. Done with ginger,  garlic and sake.  But no matter how many you have there’s never enough!  

    I did mussels and prawns ( 3#/ 1#) last Sunday night with lots of garlic, butter and white wine. For only 2 of us. With salad and bread. We finished them all!

    oink oink!

  3. I did notice that and all the recipes I've seen don't seem to call for all that much butter. For so little needed, it looks like you'd go for the real stuff.

     

    Said by the person that is forever looking up and collecting recipes for them and still never getting round to making them.

    They are plastic cases to hold eggs while you boil them. Perhaps they hadn't noticed eggs come in shells.

     

    But now you can get rid of those pesky shells ahead of time... after all, that's the hardest part of a boiled egg,  peeling it!:P

    About 35 pages into his 136 pages of posts!

    Thank you Thank you Thank you. Still an enjoyable read after all this time.  Seeing how things have changed  over the years , the photography, garnishes, food styling, I love seeing that.(on another note it is lovely to see the names of so many people who aren't here anymore , being able to go back and see their posts. and  hope that they will one day drop back in for a visit.:x.)

  6. Oh I totally understood the different ends of the spectrum,  where she is carting around a pretty well loaded kitchen , fridge, freezer, appliances, utensils, vessels, fresh and frozen foods and a well stocked pantry,  you have much planning with what will and will not keep for a set amount of time, along with the items that will or will not be worth the effort to carry to the site.  I only meant that she has opened my eyes to the vast array of foods that can be cooked while traveling and camping out... it's not all about burgers and dogs anymore.:P

  7. One of my favorites to read was by Daniel, in NY, and a pork dinner he was cooking.  I haven't been able to find it in ages, but would sure enjoy it if any of you come across it in your viewing.   

     

    a nd like Shelby, I am a great fan of  the food blogs. Love seeing all the changes that have occurred over the years :x
