We're/they're Southern. I hated it as a kid -- I though they were gross. Last year we did a curry dish with them that was wonderful, though, and this year a friend made "Texas caviar."

However, I should cook them more often since they are a relatively quick cooking bean. They have a nice soft texture. You should try them, I think you will like them.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-30855686787954016932010-01-02T01:54:53.573-05:002010-01-02T01:54:53.573-05:00That looks so healthy and delicious!

Onions flakes are something I keep on hand too, just in case I run out of raw onions.<br /><br />Your hubby sounds like a gem like mine. My sweetie is always running errands for me too.<br /><br />Your beans sound very similar to mine. Quick question. How did the "prebaked" beans work out? Did they take a lot longer to cook? I am often wondered about that.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-48517887358100455502010-01-01T20:51:09.260-05:002010-01-01T20:51:09.260-05:00We love to have "hoppin' john" for N...We love to have "hoppin' john" for New Year's, too, but this year I didn't want to go out for the blackeyes, and after using some navy beans to weight a pie crust for Christmas, so that they were a little "used" already, I decided to work with them. It's not vegan, but I used broth from our smoked turkey, a big can of diced tomatoes, a couple of ribs of celery, several slices of hot peppers I froze several weeks ago, some red, some white, and some dehydrated onion (we were running out!), diced carrots, and that's about it. Everybody loved it, and I did serve it over rice, with diced smoked turkey and chopped raw onion (hubby had in the meantime made a grocery run for me, bless his heart) to garnish.
