"This recipe is for good old fashioned Boston Baked Beans. You can use Pea Beans or Navy Beans. You can't be in a hurry when making these. The beans should not be watery at all but on the thick side when finished so be careful how much water you add. Cook time does not include soaking beans overnight. These are great for a Saturday night meal in the Fall and Winter served with hot dogs and home fries. If you really want to make the meal complete then serve it with Boston Brown Bread."

I live in Southern Maine The Way Life Should Be with my husband of 30 years, 2 teenage kids and my dog a 130 pound Rottweiler lap dog! During the summer we stay across the street from Wells Beach in our small Maine Cottage and the rest of the year in our house in Lyman which is about 1/2 hour from President Bush's compound at Walkers Point in Kennebunkport. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. I love to cook. My pet peeve is people who have no manners; like saying please and thank you, etc. etc. and salespeople who chew gum! <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg> <a href=http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2784515><img border=0 src=http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2784515.png alt=Visitor Map></a><a href=http://www.maploco.com/>Create your own visitor map!</a> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>
