The great thing about waking up at two o’clock in the morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed (yeah right) is that you can start soaking dried beans for the necessary eight hours, and still have time to let them cook all day!

So yesterday in the wee hours, I did just that.  I put some navy beans in water to soak, and around ten o’clock I started making bean soup.

It was might tasty!  My secret ingredient is cloves, it just makes the soup.  I try and find 3-5 pound smoked picnic roasts, and I toss them in whole until the meat falls off the bone.

 

I also made cornbread and a pumpkin pie, they all go together beautifully!

Today I’m going to finish sewing the log cabin rows together, no cooking today as we’ll have leftovers tonight.

One of our friends got robbed while at church on Sunday. We are hearing a lot of this lately!
