1 lb red kidney beans
1 lb andouille sausage sliced
2 tbsp fat (bacon drippings, duck fat, or olive oil)
1 large onion diced
1 bell pepper diced
3 stalks celery diced
6 cloves garlic minced
Ham bone or pickled pork
2 tsp ground thyme
1 tbsp Creole seasoning
2 bay leaves
3 tbsp chopped parsley
Soak red beans in fresh cold water overnight.
Cooking day, drain the beans and reserve the soaking water.
Render the andouille in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Remove sausage and set aside. Add fat to the pot and sauté the aromatics, about 3 minutes, until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add beans, pork, thyme, Creole seasoning, and bay leaves to the pot. Pour in reserved soaking water enough to cover the pot contents over about an inch. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for four hours stirring occasionally. Add water or stock if liquid has evaporated too quickly. At this point take a wooden spoon and mash some beans against the side of the pot and stir in to make them creamy. Add parsley and andouille and heat through. Serve over hot steamed rice.
The reflections in the Bean (designed by Anish Kapoor) are AMAZING!
Back from a trip in Chicago - Seattle - Vancouver - Montreal.
It had been a pretty long time since getting out with camera in hand in Chicago--about 2 and a half years since my son was born. The family opted to spend the weekend in the city and being only a few blocks from the bean, I opted to get up early and soak in the sight. It turned out to be a great sunrise and was followed by equally incredible donuts. It was a good weekend.
I haven't really done any pictures lately other than those for blogs. So since I was completely bored out of my mind, I did this.
Ta-da.
P.S. This skin is only 50L at &Bean. You should totally get it.
I was drawn to the flamboyant display of bean pods. From Renee’s Garden: Exotic and tropical-looking Hyacinth Bean vines flaunt gorgeous sprays of amethyst and violet blossoms, borne on striking purple stems throughout warm summer weather. The rich hued flowers mature into shiny, flat 3-inch pods that hang like purple patent leather ornaments against the dense canopy of twining foliage. These show-stopping climbers win the admiring attention of all our garden visitors.
Beans - pods of various varieties are sometimes called "green beans"
Phaseolus lunatus - legume family plant
Vigna unguiculata (bean-fradinho or string bean) - in the Northeast of Brazil the grains of this species are called "green beans" when they are not ripe (Wikipedia pt).

Please follow me if you like my B&W photos, I am not the best photographer as I take most of my shots from my wheelchair so I cannot get into the best places/positions to take a photo but I try my best. Lee.

While the outside of the Chicago Bean reflects the skyline and surrounding plaza, the inside gives a kaleidoscopic image of all the people milling about beneath. At first glance, this reminded me of a giant MRI scan of the body.
Bean Rock Lighthouse is the only surviving wave washed wooden cottage type lighthouse in New Zealand. Bean Rock stands on a group of rocks opposite North Head at the entrance to Waitemata harbour, Auckland.
Construction begun on the Bean Rock lighthouse in 1870 and was completed in 8 months. The design was an open framework with a cottage on top.
On 24 July, 1871, after a cost of £3000, the lighthouse with its kerosene light of 350 candlepower was lit.
The keeper lived in three rooms in the cottage structure. A living area including kitchen, a bedroom and the ‘long drop’ toilet to the sea below.
In 1912 it installed its first automatic acetylene light at Bean Rock and the lighthouse became the first watched light to lose it's resident keeper. At the same time it was changed to a flashing light to stand out from the lights of the city. The light revolved by the pressure it generated as it burned; an automatic sun valve turned the gas flow on and off.
Plans in the 1970's to replace the lighthouse with a concrete structure was meet with local opposition but by the 1980's the Auckland Harbour Board and Historic Places Trust were seriously worried about the lighthouse as it needed extensive repairs. In 1985 the cottage structure was removed by crane from the pilings and moved ashore for renovation. At the same time the rotted kauri piles were replaced with Australian hardwood jarrah and sunk in a new concrete foundation.
During the renovation, they found 20 coats of paint on one section of the lighthouse, showing how well the keepers had done their job. The lighthouse was also repainted white, it's original colour after being painted yellow since 1956. Five months later the cottage was craned back onto the new pilings and bolted down.
Solar panels now provide the power for the lighthouse and it has an automatic fog horn.
For 122 Pictures in 2022 #104 "Things in pods", these are anasazi beans from my garden. They did not do well here, I actually harvested fewer than I planted, so I will content myself with just getting them online. For those who are unaware of these, they are the forerunners of today's pinto beans, and were originally grown by the Anasazi people in the 4 corners area (where Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado meet)
Our Daily Challenge - Peek-a-boo
I wasn't going to do another Mr Bean today. But with a subject like Peek-a-boo how could I not? ;)
Purchased a bag of a local roast and had a first look at the beans. And later the grind. And then followed of course the tasting. :)
Habe mir eine Packung Espressobohnen eines lokalen Rösters besorgt. Hier ein erster Blick auf die Bohnen. Später dann auf das Mahlgut und danach folgte natürlich das Verkosten. :)
Tafoni are small, rounded openings in rock surfaces that resemble Swiss cheese or honeycomb. They are formed by a combination of physical and chemical processes that occur over millions of years. These rock surfaces are at Bean Hollow State Beach on the San Mateo, California coast.

This was inspired by a shot I saw in the strobist pool, which I think was better than my attempt to be honest. But I thoughts I'd give the spilt coffee beans and cup a go in the basement.

I tried a few shots at f8 and f11 with more light power, but I wanted to get a shallow DOF and some motion blur, so settled on f4 which is a wide as my 70-200 will go.

Ages since I made these. A nice batch. A bit spicy but not fiery. Two helpings for the freezer too. I baked these, so very low fat.

I'm thinking that lunch should be a BL Mr.T.

July 3rd is national Eat Your Beans Day - a “live healthy” holiday. This day celebrates the bean vegetable in all sizes, shapes, and colors. My healthy version of huevos rancheros includes black beans, poached eggs, roasted peppers, tomatoes, and (less healthy but irresistible) cheddar cheese, all on a lovely tortilla.
