Homebody Beans

"This is a different recipe from chili or pork'n beans. DH wants this on a regular basis. Use two cans of beans for a smaller amount. I like a couple of cans of garbonzos and one of kidney, but use all kidney if you're feeding traditionalists. I got this years and years ago from Peg Bracken's "I Hate To Cook Book". It was the first cook book I bought ever, at Lake Tahoe when I was 16. Feel free to add chili or Italian spice mix or a boullion cube or two. I've done it all, but I didn't care for the apple bacon."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've been cooking for over 45 years now. First I made Jello pudding. Next I learned how to make cream sauce. I still like creamed tuna over toast, rice or mashed potatoes. Many years ago I found a greeting card that said "When I retire I'm going to move to a big house in the country and live with a lot of cats...I've already got a start on the cats." I bought the store's entire stock and sent them to EVERYBODY! Well, now I'm retired, I live in a regular sized house in the country (on about 80 acres), I have a bunch of cats and feed a lot of other critters. There's a mini pig (she's still pretty big),a lop-eared rabbit, a vole who moved in under the stove, a huge flock of chickens, loads of songbirds, an opossum behind the barn(who sneaks in to eat), herons in the spring, pacific tree frogs, and the occasional coyote. We're even in the territory of a couple of golden eagles who stop by a couple of times a year. That's a chicken on my shoulder. JC (Junior Chicken). How he ended up as an indoor chicken is a long, complicated story. JC never learned to crow right. Maybe it was being deprived of role models in his formative months.
