hey chikey monkey....making beans

and i even took a couple pics for you.

this pot is pinto and navy beans.
soaked all the beans over night. i stripped the ham bone as best i could and then tossed it in the pot with the beans and ham meat.
i added my spices(can't share the secret) and i am going to bring it to a boil and then simmer it for about 6 hours.
i like to reduce it nice and slow over the course of the day.

i know you like beans over toast...

do you reduce yours???





edit* of course the bone is in there. thats what makes the stock....
gonna be nummers when it is done....it already smells good

i shall let you know...
actually cooking is one of the few things that i actually enjoy these days.


i like making things like pasta sauce from scratch...letting it reduce for several hours. same with the beans and chilli.

5-7 hours......makes it killer
