Mine always seem to lag the first deliveries by a while, but truth be told… I am never out of beans “from before”… I just happily welcome them them when they finally arrive  😋

Oh blue_dolphin! That made my afternoon. So funny - and as you say she has a lovely voice to top it off. 

I think I’ve watched it at least half a dozen times and it makes me laugh every time!  

When Abby shared this to the Bean Club Facebook group she said, “Every time I've cooked beans for the past two years, I've made up some dumb version of this song. So this year, for my birthday and for RG's 20th anniversary, I went for it. I hope you get a laugh out of it! Thanks, Rancho Gordo, for being such a bright spot!”

I’m totally lacking in the voice dept but I plan to start singing this when I cook beans, too. Thankfully no one to hear me but the cats 🙃

Spoiler so don't read further if you want your box to be a surprise.

 

Glad to get more frijol Negro and excited to try the Whipples.

 

Whipple it good!

and Mr Whipple was my first thought ;)  I guess I'm aging myself!

 

I'm relieved that Mr Whipple *wasn't* my first thought. O.o Or my second, which was the Whipple Observatory.

Oooh, I've been to that observatory a couple of times, we used to live not far from there! The road up Mt Hopkins made me quite nervous, it's not very wide at all in spots. The connection between that and beans is that tepary beans are grown in the region near the Observatory. The Tohono O'odham grow them and that's where I used to buy them from, though I see Rancho Gordo also sells them. I wonder where RG purchases from, does anyone know?

Beans ARE gorgeous.    At Ferry Plaza, RG had a big bin of mixed beans for customers to run their finger through. It was like fondling thousands of jewels.  

You took me backto he bean bin in produce section when I was a kid, We'd sneak over and run our hands through. Pintos.

Cooked up a batch of Royal Coronas yesterday and used some to make the Smoky Confit'd Beans with Olives that appears in the most recent Bean Club newsletter and is from Lukas Volger's book, Snacks for Dinner.  Recipe also available online here.

Had some for breakfast.  Very good.  I'll make it again.  Maybe reduce the smoked paprika a bit and try adding sun dried tomatoes.  Good recipe to play around with.
