    Ive tried different spices, but after having some of the best beans I'd ever eaten at my 95 year old Mother's home, I asked her for her secret recipe. Her answer :Pinto beans, ham bone, salt, pepper and onion on a low simmer. Sometimes simpler is just better. Momma knows !

      My 97 yo grandmother cooks beans the same way! Except she's French and they use a large white bean which is really creamy and delicious. My Dad is a West Virginia native and cooks pintos the same as your Mom. Both are amazing meals. Especially in the winter. :)

    Folks...remember that if you use a Mexican style, "molcajete" (what Kent calls a masher) if you buy one new from the store, you need to cure it before you grind any food. They are made of volcanic rock.
    Use the piedra (the rounded mashing stone) and grind the bowl part. Place 2 cups of white rice in and star grinding. When the rice is ground up and completely turns black, throw it away and add more rice. Repeat grinding. As long as the rice turns black and dusty, the bowl is still not cured. When the rice grinds clean, throw it out and fill up the bowl with dish soap and boiling hot water, let set for about 5 minutes and rise out. Happy grinding.

      in a world where they are trying to remove "old ways, old ideas, old patterns, old traditions" (little Mao-ist if ya ask me) - the old ways..WORK! Thats because they are the old ways, and tradition and common sense is much more powerful than "new fangled ideas"

When I was a kid I remember cleaning beans out in camp the times they’d let me tag along to help. we had a pot of beans, flour tortillas just about every night for dinner at the ranch and there was always a pot of coffee going that I wasn’t allowed to have. some of my fondest memories are from that patch of dirt. thank you for bringing back that memory

    I'm from Finland so beans are something you don't always use in everyday recipes (easily available ofcourse and getting more and more popular), but the funny thing for me is that ever since I've watched Westerns and read some Lucky Lukes as a kid I've developed a craving for beans that cowboys cooked for supper over an open fire.

    Beans seem to be a unilaterally-accepted survival food. When I was stuck in the Netherlands last winter, I kept myself and my housemates fed with a recipe not much unlike this; it only differs in the spices and the meats. I've used basil, pepper, paprika, red chili flakes and bay leaves alongside a good cut of Csabai sausages from home. The Dutch didn't see proper snow in years and our crummy student-apartment had poor insulation, but damn me if those beans didn't keep us warm!

    Us at 5000’ in central New Mexico-well, I grew up with bacon grease, maybe some actual meat, salt, water and beans. But we added our fixings after the beans had boiled themselves soft.

    A tale that I learned from my father:
    A panel van pulls up at a large corral and a young bull hops out. He looks around at all the cows and gets a gleam in his eye. "Ohhhh boy!"
    A second van pulls up and a much bigger, more mature bull steps out. He surveys the area, spots the youngster and says, "Three quarters of the cows are mine, you can have the rest."
    The little bull is disappointed, but says to himself, "Well, that's still a lot of cows."
    A third van shakely pulls up, barely able to stay up on it's wheels. The side panels are nearly all smashed out from the inside. The driver quickly gets out and runs for dear life. The back doors of the van explode open and the biggest, strongest, meanest bull ever seen in living memory leaps out. Without bothering to look, he bellows out, "All of the cows are mine!"
    The little bull lowers his head and starts snorting and pawing the ground with his hooves. The second bull sees this and says, "Kid, you're not seriously thinking of challenging that monster, are you?"
    The little bull replies, "Heck no. I just want to make sure he knows that I'm not a cow."

    I love watching everything you do. The respect you show our armed services and the old traditional way of life. My hats off to you sir. Okie for life and keep on keeping on
