I use them with black beans, because those are the only beans I eat (I am new to eating beans, used to hate them, except baked beans, because - bacon!), but I think I might try branching out. My dislike is a textural thing, which is apparently fixable by cooking method.<br /><br />Now I want to make a stuffed flatbread.KA Congdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253724993779319583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-41861875516990353912010-10-20T13:38:01.558-04:002010-10-20T13:38:01.558-04:00http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot...http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html <br /><br />sorry mom, this link's for you.<br /><br />I think *everything* looks like more fun when bear is doing it.j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-31412227124511860142010-10-20T12:33:17.547-04:002010-10-20T12:33:17.547-04:00TD tolerated his bath.

Otherwise that looks *really* good. Of course, before they moved everything around there were bulk spices (by the oz) at EarthFare. If they still had them, this would probably work out better.<br /><br />tiff- I'm with mom on the Mmm for eggplant Parm. It's good stuff. She used to have to watch me veeeery carefully when she was frying the eggplant for it, I'd grab them off the plate as they came out of the frying pan. <br /><br />Marcia- this eggplant is big enough I could probably make both. Not quite sure how it would work, but srsly, it's huuuge. Hmm, both...<br /><br />Kim- Yeah, ham hock sounds about right. Sadly I've given up trying to identify all the parts of a pig you can find at a southern grocery store. I'm pretty sure most (other yankee) people don't eat about 95% of it. The Baba stuffed flatbread... I forgot about that. I think it's on the list.<br /><br />My magic happy mommy lady- You can get around the eggwash/ milk thing by using water or soy milk. Could probably even use oil to make it stick. Or some people mix up fancy egg sub stuff. <br /><br />2 q's for you, mommy lady- How did the TD like his bath, and... if it were on super sale, would you have bought a ham instead of just looking for the bone?j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-16708842368387926422010-10-20T11:37:59.434-04:002010-10-20T11:37:59.434-04:00The mission was to buy a ham bone without us havin...The mission was to buy a ham bone without us having to eat an entire ham. There are only two of us and that's way too much. I think we came home with pieces of ham bone. Half went into the great northern beans and the other into the freezer. I now have a delicious pot of creamy beans with ham and veggies. Not something J would eat since it has meat but a wonderful fall treat. Bear and TD were quite interested with what was on the stove. They are both wet right now since I finally broke down and gave them baths this am. Bear is almost dry, TD well...he will take a tad longer (like the rest of the day).<br />Signed, J's momNew Beginninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134387779736540347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-52033963348080864282010-10-20T11:19:36.836-04:002010-10-20T11:19:36.836-04:00It was a ham hock, probably - piggie thigh bone. ...It was a ham hock, probably - piggie thigh bone. Really good for cooking black beans, and essential if you want to do them cuban style.<br /><br />As for the eggplant, how about a babaganoush stuffed flatbread? I might actually have stolen that idea from you, but I did it a few months ago and it was super yum. Plus it gives you bread and veggie delivery in one bite.KA Congdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253724993779319583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-69533851299452388102010-10-20T10:48:23.287-04:002010-10-20T10:48:23.287-04:00babaganoush.

A healthier and faster option rather than battering and frying is to dip in either low fat milk or an eggwash, drench in bread crumbs. You simply place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non stick spray, drizzle some EVOO and pop into the oven at my favorite temp (350). Bake for I think 10 to 15 minutes and you are good to go. This may not work for J but I suspect you could come up with a workable solution to replace the milk or eggwash.<br />Love, MomNew Beginninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134387779736540347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-38007337665608780242010-10-20T09:48:20.355-04:002010-10-20T09:48:20.355-04:00I like making eggplant parmesan.
