I like to have dessert or cornbread mixed up to go in the oven when the beans come out. Ours will usually be cooked up into chili, with a bowl of plain beans set aside for my middle child. Also: olives, green and/or black for the beans.

Will see what I can do about the public school libraries next!<br /><br />Can we start another book-recommending thread? I just read and deeply enjoyed:<br /><br />Ministry of Utmost Happiness (Arundhati Roy's new novel)<br /><br />March (Geraldine Brooks - takes the father from Little Women as the central character, utterly beautiful and devastating)<br /><br />And of course, <br /><br />The Bright Hour - Nina Riggs (which I know you've already recommended, Catherine, but it can't be recommended enough; it's the only book I've ever in my life bought multiple copies of to give away)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-39116304494592946512017-09-15T15:57:06.445-04:002017-09-15T15:57:06.445-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Keldaj@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914239336093871589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-89377294756706063602017-09-12T08:58:19.563-04:002017-09-12T08:58:19.563-04:00Hi Catherine - waiting oh-so-patiently for our num...Hi Catherine - waiting oh-so-patiently for our number for OM-UN to show at the local library.

Soon as I'm back on my feet, financially speaking, I plan to order copies as Christmas presents. :) Stircrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220551022935424717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-41511262196336084342017-09-08T20:01:52.613-04:002017-09-08T20:01:52.613-04:00I pre-ordered the book, and gave it to my daughter...I pre-ordered the book, and gave it to my daughter, who is Not a reader. However, 7th grade has brought the 20 book challenge. She read the inside flap, and said, "I'll read this one next."

I bought the 6-in-1, then generously gifted it to my daughter so I could get the 7-in-1 and make yogurt (although I hear it's easy to make using a slow cooker as well). I've only made one batch of yogurt so far, but it was also stellar. (If readers want to buy one, I believe Black Friday sales tend to be the best, especially if you are boycotting Amazon.)BeeBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393355368344727734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-36636250780614207942017-09-07T18:02:07.975-04:002017-09-07T18:02:07.975-04:00Your book arrived!

Also, isn't Less fantastic!? I'd read ten more books just like it if I could find them. Let us know if you do. Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581293261174130993noreply@blogger.com
