Beans Beans Beans

A whole pot down the toilet........LITERALLY!  It took five flushes to get the whole pot down.  I could smell the chili powder and it made my mouth water. What a waste! After two hours of cooking and the beans still weren't done,Veloy said, "they aren't going to get soft, I once cooked dead beans all day long and they never got soft. The beans are dead." 

I didn't want to believe her, that's why I kept cooking away.  The aroma of carrots, onions, celery, cumin and chili powder filled the entire house. I looked forward to chili for three days!

I think I grabbed the wrong bag. This taught me a lesson. A bag of beans is a buck seventy four. It started to be more of a loss after all the veggies were in.  Just glad I waited to put the meat in!

I'm trying again today. I soaked the beans last night and I KNOW these beans are fresh. Wish me luck!
