Number 1 Sexy Dad posted:A couple weekends ago I used up all my old chicken spines and wingtips making a heavy-duty stock, then I used some of the stock as the main liquid in some small heirloom red beans whose variety I cannot remember. The beans owned and my house also smelled good. Cook some beans. My folks travel often from VA to SW PA and back. They stop at an Amish store on their trips and bring me awesome flour and, just recently, heirloom beans. I'm excited. I am right now working my way through a couple pounds of pink beans Food Lion had on clearance. Scored for maybe 50c/lb. They are the beans people are accustomed to for canned beans, so I usually make bbq beans out of 'em. My wife loves them. Although I didn't have any tonight that weren't already in the form of refried or bean dip, so I pulled a pint of frozen pigeon peas I did a few months ago for tonight's dinner of bbq brisket. The peas were a carribbean/spanish-y preparation meant to be served as "rice and peas" but they went great with smoked brisket and cornbread.

Number 1 Sexy Dad posted:A few years ago I had a really good chickpea salad with little pieces of pepper and onion and maybe there was some herb and a citrus element. It had a nice but indistinct dressing and the beans were nice and creamy. It was part of an airplane meal, ironically. Anybody have a favorite chickpea salad recipe? Wifey does a great chickpea/tuna/celery/shallot salad with a nice lemony vinaigrette. It's been a while, memory faded a bit. I'll ask her.

I want to trade my 96FS for a 92. So, probably not.

Butch Cassidy posted:The 92 is wicked awesome and my vote for best thing ever made with a hilariously longer frame life than a 96 so you have my blessing for what it's worth. The 96 is a great piece, I've had it 20 years maybe? I've just decided I like 9mm better. And ribolita! I didn't know it had a name. I've always just called that "my kinda tuscanish bean soup thing." I usually use kale instead of spinach though. I love kale in soup.

Yeah, it wasn't the beans. When cooking dried beans you always get a bit of scum on the surface and it's not appetizing. It doesn't hurt you or anything, but it's not tasty. If you leave it in you get a muddy taste. It's protein but broken down to tasteless foamy amino acids. There's fuckin plenty of protein left in the bean. You skim that poo poo off and throw it down the sink with a big fuckin steel spoon. Same as cooking stock. If your beans smell like poo poo they're not beans; that's rabbit poo poo. Go buy beans at a store. Or they're ancient and rancid. They should just smell like fuckin beans, man.
