The RG customer service people are really top notch and usually very quick to reply.  I suspect they might be swamped right now with people having shipment related issues so it could take a little longer but do touch base with them if you want a full copy of that newsletter.

Speaking of wild rice -- I LOVE this recipe. I typically use mandarin oranges instead of navel.

My bean club box just arrived :).  Very exciting.  

I just got an email that mine is out for delivery. I just got on a plane in Washington DC so I should have a treat welcoming me when I get home!

I won't ruin the surprise...but there is something non-bean in there that I cannot WAIT to try.

 

Huzzah!  I am relieved.  I'm minded of an ancient Goon Show skit [from memory]:  "Sir there are rumblings among the crew down in the hold!"  "Insolent cur, how would you like a taste of the cat?"  "Oh, please, sir!  Anything but more beans!"

I have called a moratorium on further purchases of RG beans until I work my way through the stock I have. I can testify that the cranberry beans, cooked in the IP with nothing but diced onion and a sliced up kielbasa, then drained and stirred up with a sauce of ketchup, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, molasses and spicy brown mustard, makes a wonderful dish of baked beans for any occasion calling for them.

 

I bought some wax beans today at the farmers market. Contemplating cooking up some bits of bags of different beans, draining and chilling, and then mixing with lightly blanched wax beans and green beans in a viniagrette for a bean salad.

@Kerry Beal beat me to it. I love posole, but made with Rancho Gordo hominy, it's several planes above that made with canned.

 

@Chris Amirault, if memory serves me right, posted a posole recipe years ago that he credited to his mother-in-law. It was my introduction to posole. I make it two or three times every winter, now.

I got my shipping confirmation this morning so they're on their way.  I almost put this shipment on hold because I still have a bunch left but I knew this one would have the calendar and that traditional New Year's item that I need for good luck!

I think this is from last year's batch, but tonight I cooked up a little more than half a package of "Eye of the Goat" beans, along with pork hock bones with leftover meat, some smoked bratwurst as meat insurance, and some mushrooms, red bell peppers, celery and onion that needed cooking. It took 3 cycles in the Instant Pot of 35 minutes on High Pressure, then natural release for 20 - 30 minutes, then adding a bit of water and repeating, to get the beans to the creamy consistency I'd expected. I'm glad I persevered. We both thought this delicious! I have a huge backlog of beans (and I haven't joined the club for that reason, yet) but when I'm ready to buy more the Ojo do Cabra beans will be on the order form.

Today I'm making Posole. I have a mix of pork neck bones and shoulder plus one weird pork bone that looks a bit like a small turkey leg. My RG pozole is finished cooking. I think they take longer than RG says; mine took 2 1/2 hours, and they seemed pretty fresh to begin with. Or maybe I like them a bit softer than Steve does. I was going to defrost some some home made red chile paste, but discovered that my husband had already defrosted some roasted green chiles for his omelet. The chiles are hot, and I have enough for a Posole Verde, so that's what it will be. Garnished with lettuce and radishes and white onion. The pork stock is still simmering and smells like New Mexico to me. OMG I really should do this more often.

@Chris Amirault, on this site, posted his mother-in-law's Castaneda Posole some 10 or more  years ago. It remains the only posole I will ever cook. Recipe here.
