Comments on: beans & rice http://simplyserina.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/612/ The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. ~Thomas More~ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:37:54 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: realfoodlover http://simplyserina.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/612/#comment-4351 realfoodlover Sun, 26 Apr 2009 08:40:06 +0000 http://simplyserina.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/612/#comment-4351 Hi Serina. I like the look of your blog and its call for simplicity! I am a great bean fan, since the discovery of The Bean Book by Rose Elliot, the great vegetarian recipe writer. I am also a complete hummus addict - here is my recipe http://realfoodlover.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/homemade-hummus/ I too am toying with vegan (mainly because my digestion - but veganism has many things going for it such as economy and feeling at peace as I pat a sheep...) But re. salting beans while cooking - I have heard this toughens them up and slows down cooking, and that the salt is added after the beans are cooked. Thanks for great bean recipes. I am going to soak the next lot now! Hi Serina. I like the look of your blog and its call for simplicity!

Thanks for great bean recipes. I am going to soak the next lot now!

Hope the pinto beans turn out for you! I'm pretty stuck on pinto beans...they're my current fave. Glad you liked the lentil recipe, Stephanie. Hope the pinto beans turn out for you!

It's actually sort of funny because Andy likes all types of beans and here I am being miss picky! Anyway, can't wait to try this!
