Beans, Beans the Magical Fruit


I am embarrassed to admit that I have never before used dried beans.

Today, on fantasy island, Dan and I soaked a bunch of them after looking up the how-tos online.

Step one: rinse beans and take out broken ones and pieces of dirt.
Step two: put beans in a container and cover with water, enough so that when they expand they will still be covered.
Step three: put them in the fridge (or in our case, the back porch, which serves as a ridge)
Step four: leave them like that for 6-8 hours. Apparently soaking them for longer like this makes them less musical, bonus.
