My mom supposedly makes a mean batch of baked beans, but I can barely eat them. Go figure, as I LOVE beans!<br /><br />The checker I was talking about discussed making egg rolls with the beans. A slice of green onion, beans, a piece of pork and fry them up. I think I'll be giving them a try.<br /><br />Anon 9:22, yeah, there's some sort of sweet bean cake I've had at Din Sum restaurants. I think I'm seeing a pattern here. I'm not crazy about them - my guess is because they're sweet. I guess I'm a savory bean kinda guy!<br /><br />Terrie, I think you deleted your recipe as well! Or were you commenting on Anon's cake recipe?<br /><br />Andrea, I read the post, and I'll drop by and give my two cents worth. Thanks for the heads up.<br /><br />Anon 8:59, I like rice and milk "pudding" as well. When I was a kid, my grandma used to make it the next morning. Very good memories!<br /><br />I need to give dandelions a try. They're green here in Ca all year round as well.<br /><br />For the past two years, I've gotten my fill of blackberries as well. In fact, I've still got some in the freezer from last year.Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-18079105756095688562011-03-22T20:59:31.546-07:002011-03-22T20:59:31.546-07:00I grew up just North of Boston in the 40's and...I grew up just North of Boston in the 40's and 50's and we had baked beans hot dogs and brown bread every Saturday too. Still my favorite meal.<br /><br />I often ate rice for breakfast. When my mother made rice for dinner I would eat the leftover rice with a few raisins and milk the next morning.<br /><br />Sprouting is a good way to get more vitamins from seeds and to make them more edible (as opposed to cooking). Wheat sprouts soften the wheat and change the taste and make it useful for something other then just bread.<br /><br />I don't personally "like" sprouts. I can eat them but I could live without them too. I'll tame my beans and lentils cooked and my wheat ground into flour.<br /><br />Dandelion greens are a better choice for needed vitamins. Where I live now (not in Boston) dandelions stay green all year. Canned fruit/preserves are another good choice. I actually had to stop myself from picking blacberries last year they were so abundant. Plant dwarf and semi-dwarf Apple, pear, peach trees and can or eat them fresh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-16916794193474910912011-03-22T10:21:01.572-07:002011-03-22T10:21:01.572-07:00http://newlifeonahomestead.com/2011/03/what-do-i-n...http://newlifeonahomestead.com/2011/03/what-do-i-need-in-order-to-survive-an-economic-collapse-part-5-guns-ammo/<br /><br />Chief-you simply must read this discussion and post your thoughts.

Hey...the...>>pizza the morning after>><br /><br />Hey...the early bird gets the pick of the leftovers!! (That includes pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving, if there _is_ any!)<br /><br />The only beans for breakfast I remember is my Dad eating leftover baked beans. We always had baked beans, franks and brown bread for Saturday night dinner. (No, I don't know why. My parents were from Massachusetts and I think it was a tradition of sorts. I usually have spaghetti on Thursday nights. That's because I used to shop on Thursdays because it was the least crowded day at the commissary, and the boys had Scouts on Thursdays. That meant I needed something quick. Get home, unload groceries, start water boiling, start the spaghetti sauce - package type - put groceries away while the water boiled and spaghetti cooked, put dinner on the table, clear while the boys changed into uniforms and GO! rest of the groceries in the AM) <br />Sundays were big breakfast days - sit at the dining room table, popovers, bacon and scrambled eggs. We only had two meals on Sundays - late breakfast and early dinner. <br /><br />Monday mornings, Dad ate left over baked beans and eggs. And toast. In the kitchen. <br /><br />I'm trying to learn new things to do with beans. Not much luck so far. Most recipes seem to use the beans as filler type stuff, not the main ingredient. Cuban black beans and rice went over well - but it's hard making a small enough batch that it doesn't last all week and then some! Next time, I'll freeze half of it, I think.sueknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-35717125595207890402011-03-22T08:17:24.415-07:002011-03-22T08:17:24.415-07:00Andrea, well, I guess savory beans might be a dece...Andrea, well, I guess savory beans might be a decent b-fast, but this thing is with milk! It just doesn't sound right.<br /><br />Those things you're talking about sound kinda good. Kind of like a hush puppy made from beans.<br /><br />Black bean brownies? Nope - I must lead a sheltered life ;-)<br /><br />Cat, pizza the morning after? Hell, that's the Breakfast of Champions.

My grandma used to take leftover pinto beans, add some diced onion, salt and pepper and enough flour to make a battery-dough then drop it in bacon grease and fry til golden brown. Yum. And besides, we've all read the recipe for black bean brownies, right?<br /><br />STill stocking up here...really concentrating on sugar, coffee, flour, etc.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662745930080756613noreply@blogger.com
