Heres one for you.
Took the better half out to eat to a new place yesterday.
Ham and beans. Navy beans.
Cornbread. ( I think Jiffy Mix.)
Fried potato. ( I think they boiled the potato first then fried them).

The country people around here get apple cider vinegar for their beans, city people get white vinegar. I think the owner was Italian. No vinegar, but 3 kinds of hot sauce.

Good Comfort food.

Oh a question.
Onions and celery both contain high amounts of sulfur.
Why will celery take the wind out of beans?
I always put it in any kind of beans i make.
