Black bean crisis

Oh, good. We just had some for lunch with fajitas in Tucson and were feeling guilty.

Yeah, it now there aren't any Panditas to be found.

I think I have one can...Should I start an auction

Too late Lisa. You needed the auction a week or so ago....lol.

The trick to beans, especially at this altitude is a pressure cooker. Otherwise, they never taste right.

And here I thought the most desirable frijoles are slow, slow cooked over a small wood fire in an unglazed clay pot. They should taste with a little clay, and a hint of woodsmoke. For many Mexicans this is the taste of home and the magic of old grandmas.
