Good Morning Everyfriend!  Thanks for thinking about the 15 Bean Soup Recipe.  I was sure I got that from someone on here.  Now I'll have to get back to the hunt.

PATRICIA, I already did that on-line search and I'm sure it's there but I can't pick it out.  I'm going back and check out yours.  Maybe something will jump out at me.

My granddaughter is coming today and I need to get ready for company.  I don't think I'll have Cooper because Frankie wasn't feeling well when she picked him up yesterday.  She said if she didn't feel any better today, she wasn't going to work today.  If she was going, they'd be here by now.

AMY, keep on keeping on!  You'll feel better.  It's all that snow on the roof that's doing you in!  I don't understand what you expect David to find about bean soup at Wal-Mart.  This is home made soup!  Am I missing something?

Gotta get dressed and get on the ball.  Courtney will text me when she's in the car on the way and that will give me 2 hours to finish up.  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

P.S.  It's already up to 38º and on it's way to a high of 50 today!

Jane, check your email.  What we get here in the package is just 5 bean (dry) blend.. so maybe he can find a package of the 15(dry) bean blend??

AMY, THAT'S THE RECIPE!  Thank you!  And they do have the packets of 15 beans.  It's called "Hurst 15-been blend" and it sells for about $2.50 a bag depending on which kind you want.  I got the one that was $2.59.  Prices are always changing!

Jane, you're welcome. Ok will tell David about it. Foggy here and hokey teddy bear the snow has gone down!! Temp is 40° at the moment and I have let the fire go out.......too hot in here and I am going to bake more bread.

Up to 60 deg. here today, Amy. But, rain is on the way and I'm sure the temp. will go down again in a couple days.

Jane, I was going to tell you that you buy the 15 bean soup in the dried bean section at the grocery store and that the recipe is on the bag.  I usually tweak it a bit here and there by adding ham, bacon, or kielbasa, but basically it is what the bean people recommend.

If I don't get here for a couple of days.......

Quote from: Amy on December 30, 2022, 06:41:05 AMGood morning..

Rain/drizzle had started last night around 11:30 when I let the dogs out, not sure what it is doing at the moment...too dark out.

Quiet day here, will can some of the soup to take to people and make more bread.Then I am going to play in the sewing room...maybe.

Jane, I emailed you Phyllis's recipe for bean soup.We don't get the 15 bean medly here but do get a 5. I am thinking when David is in the US at your Walmart I will ask him to look for the 15 bean one.


Time to start the day....my get'up n go went back to bed so I will just plod along

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

The packaged kind is "Hambeens" brand.  I think there are a couple others.  Yes there are 15 kinds of beans.  Just FYI, the beans turn out better just cooked in a large pot on the stove.  I did the CrockPot thing, and was disappointed (texture).  Also, be sure to soak them overnight, remove the floater and any pebbles.  They do require a longer cooking time, in my opinion.

Tome, thank you. Phyllis and I cook these in our instant pots (no soaking) and they cook soft in 50 mins. I did a pot of baked beans in 90 min no soaking the beans. Bread is out of the oven...some in the hidey hole  butter is on the side.

Now I'm curious. I have several dried bean types, as I cannot use commercially canned varieties. Would you post the recipe in the what's for dinner forumn?

Joannie, that's one of the reasons I got rid of my microwave, as the taste of foods was off; same similar overall tastes for anything you put in it. My six-quart slow cooker was donated next because I no longer meal-prepped, so I didn't need the larger amounts prepared.

With a new or at least new to me stove last year and a brand new refrigerator this year after months of begging maintenance (I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with the structural inspection by the state bigwigs on the 16th)... I mainly use my wok or a stainless steel dutch oven.

We're still getting by with minuses in minus 3 to minus five and lows of minus 20. The promised snow the last five times has gone elsewhere and not to us.

Where's Lloyd ?

I'm ready to hit the haystack.  I had a busy day getting ready for Granddaughter Courtney's arrival and then visiting with her until she went out to meet my son and family for supper.  She's back now and in bed!  And that's where I'm heading!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Where's LLOYD???

Better get a move on..

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Good Morning!  I'm up and attem and waiting for Courtney to wake up.  She wants to make a trip to Davy's today and that's good for me.  I have a list waiting on my desk and a little extra money to get some stuff for her.  I never know about Christmas for these "unmarried young adults" in my family and I can add to her Christmas with some groceries that she can't get where she lives. 

Now I'm going to go get myself dressed and ready so when she hits the floor, we can take off!

BUBBLE and AMY,  interesting posts!  I'm going back later and take a better look!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

I named our deaughter with my wife's Permiosion. I nameed her  ( Louisalynn) all one name No middle name,the Mitillar had no problem with that filled out the birth certificet and sent it in. the old Ladie sent it back writen on same cirtifict. saying we had to add two more names of generations, I wrote on it and sent it Back servial times untill it looked Like a peice of scrap paper. captian armbruster took my side we won after severia consatiations. they had a speacial meating at the captel and changed the history of newmeaxico. So that was how histoery went. But in years gone by louisalynn Has gotten and changed it on here owen, she said ti was to long and just uses Louisa. Oh we win some and loose some.

Rammel,  I've had the Times Square earthcams in my Favorites for a long time. Last New Year's Eve, I watched the live  earthcam on my Tablet and watched the broadcast on t.v.  It was fun to see the performers coming and going off stage on earthcam while watching the stage performances on tv.

So far not as good as last year.   

I agree

Happy New Year 2023!                

    Let's make a new start HERE
