What is for supper?

After several times of making beans in the crock pot they just never tasted right. So I went back to the stove. Took 2 cups of pinto beans, and one cup of great northern white beans, cleaned thru them to get rid of the little pebbles and the ugly ones...put them in a large popcorn bowl, covered them with 3 inches or more of water and let them soak about 8 or 9 hours. Dumped that water off. Dumped the waterlogged swollen beans into a big pan. Covered them with water about 3 inches above the bean level. Added about a tablespoon of seasoning salt and a few shakes of regular table salt. Cut up about 5 strips of uncooked bacon and pitched it into the water. Added about 6 tabs of butter. Put the lid on the pot and turned the flame on very low. Letting it just simmer/lightly boil for 3 hours so far but probably let them cook about 6 or more hours total. Check em every now and then make sure they don't run out of water or make sure the fire doesn't get blown out and the gas fill the house...Mmmm they are smelling mighty fine.

In about an hour or so think I'll boil 2 cups of water with a pinch of salt and a tab of butter, when it starts boiling, dump in a cup of uncooked rice, stir, lower flame to a simmer, put the lid on it and start the timer for about 22 minutes or 23 minutes. Leave that dang lid alone, opening and peaking will make your rice gummy. After the 23 minutes, turn off the flame, fluff the rice with a fork. It's ready.

Think the mrs. (M-80) is going to make a batch of cornbread from those jiffy boxes...they are plenty good and easy and quick.

I'm undecided, may fry up some sliced baked potatoes...may brown a pound of hamburger meat to mix in with the rice and beans...don't know yet...mixing in hash browns and hamburger meat with the rice and beans actually sounds really really good. But may just eat the beans and cornbread and rice. Anyhow....thats whats for supper tonight....we pretty much eat just once a day around here...so it sounds mighty good all day long.
