I've been wanting some white beans for a while so today I decided to cook a pot of dried Navy Beans Blue Runner Navy Beans to be more precise. I like their dried beans.

Got some leftover ham in with onions, celery and bell pepper cooking down before adding the beans and chicken stock. I can't wait! Might make some corn bread too.

Looks almost as good as everything else you haven't cooked. Should have used that pork stock.

Looking forward to the finished product. I usually simmer ham bones/shanks for a stock for beans. Works well. Essentially, you'll get that with all that ham while the beans simmer. That's a lot of ham. Makes me want some good beans right now.

PS: CN, the admins sometimes anchor threads with only two word subjects.

Yeah I have a pressure cooker too but since I'm not in any hurry I'm just cooking them the old fashioned way. Cast iron(enameled coated though)over fire. Lol......

Since I'm hanging around the house today cooking Navy Neans I decided to get a jump on tomorrow evening's dinner. Rice and gravy, well, at least the meat and gravy part. Browned up some beef(no, I don't remember what cut it was)seasoned simply with salt and black pepper. Removed the meat and caramelized some diced onions then returned the meat and added water. Let that come to a light boil and turned down to a low simmer with the lid on to braise until fork tender.





Beans are coming along nicely.

Yeah, I could have but since I made it from smoked then roasted pork butt bones I thought it would be better suited for the jambalaya later this week or over the weekend.

Yeah, when I cook beans I like it to have a good bit of meats be they ham or sausage.

Well, the beans are done!



I wisked a half stick of butter into them to emulsify and get 'em a bit more tasty.

Will be putting a cheesy jalapeno cornbread in the oven shortly.

Looks good. I didn't post that you should have used pork stock. That was someone else and I think it was meant to be humorous from the jamba thread.



Oh, and if I came over, I definitely wouldn't leave for a while. You'd have to stop cooking and run out of food.

What's the big deal about GITM? Last year a guy brought me some beer(I can't recall the name right now. I sent him an email to ask what it was.)that is supposedly a rare and great find when you can get it. It was one of the worst! And the gifter said it before he gave it to me. Lol....... Something like ten bucks a bottle.
