Beans. Low cost wonder food.

[Durgan]

Durgan - I went through all of your pics and descriptions in the link you provided in post #1 of this thread. Do you always make your beans like that? I have never heard of mixing so many beans together and then making them into a mush. How do you use the mush? I might want to try it someday.

Usually I make my beans now as depicted. Saves chewing them. I eat to live not live to eat. Always my breakfast is a bowl of oats and a bowl of soy beans.

My standard breakfast soy beans and oats with skim milk. Simple, quick, nourishing, and palatable.

A bowl of soy beans are eaten for breakfast, which replaces eggs for me. About a 20 day supply is prepared at one time, and kept in the refrigerator. I ingest slightly less than 100 pounds per year and buy in 55 pound bags of non modified beans(not critical).
Method: Wash several times, boil for about 15 minutes, wash again. Place in beans in colander which is insert for pressure cooker. Oil gasket area of pressure cooker to prevent gasket sticking. Boil without rocker for about ten minutes to remove air. Add rocker and cook for about two hours at 15 PSI.Remove when cooked and place in a pot, use any water left in cooker, and add more water for blending.Add some molasses to suit taste, and boil for about ten minutes to mix. Blend and pour into jars and store in the refrigerator. A litre and one half of dried soy beans is sufficient for one person for about 20 days, eating a bowl full daily. I never tried pressure canning, since a ten day supply can be stored in the refrigerator or some can be frozen if necessary.

Two authors and some health busy body is not warning about dying from food poisoning. What gives? That aside.

Few people preserve food. Fewer people eat the conglomerations they prepare. How many basements have shelves loaded with "preserved food"? that is never eaten? Most preserved food do not fit in with pizza and KFC.

I eat everything that I preserve. In other words practice what I preach.

It's usually hard to bait me into an arguement, but you have managed to do it. I preserve hundreds of quarts of home grown produce every year. I, my family and friends consume it every year. My belief is that you have recently been given or purchased a pressure canner, promptly threw away the instruction booklet and proclaimed yourself to be an expert on the subject because you have managed to process some juice that didn't kill you.

Many people preserve food, much better than you do, and in a much wider variety. Frankly, KFC can not begin to compete with the meat I prepare in my smokers and grills (of which I have seven). And I won't eat a pizza that didn't come out of my own oven.

Yes, I also practice what I preach.

Durgan, even though I am a republican I try to avoid conflict whenever possible. This time you have gone too far. I am relatively new here so if I am banned, so be it. You want war? You got it.
