Absolutely delicious flavor, and I'm sure the flavors' melding will be great overnight. We'll use the rest over rice; tonight, we just had them as a "cup-a-beans" so that we could taste them. I wasn't sure how much liquid I was supposed to have left; it seemed like too much for me, so I boiled it down some. ZWT8
