We had Pinto Beans, sometimes 3 times a week. Never from a can.

One of the best buys at our Sam's store is the 40 pound bag of dried pinto beans. I have always wanted to buy me one of them, but I hardly ever go without the wife and frankly my imagined reaction from her shoudl I tosss that bag into our cart scares me. She is wonderfully supportive of me (MHNBPF) but I know that she has her limits.

I do them from dried, just didn't do them from dried yesterday.

I grew up relatively poor also. Never knew we were poor until later in life. My parents were very skilled at money management and self sacrifice to provide for their kids. We hardly ever had Five star restaurant meals at five star restaurants, but my mom was an incredible cook and the credit for my preference of good food, simply prepaired I give to her.

Edited to add:

IMO - Pinto beans, Cornbread, Onions and Tomatoes is very good eats. I would say Grace, thanking the Lord for the bounty of his blessings and happily chow down on that for dinner today if that was what we had.
