But wait- the beans, they were dried, yes? Because if it’s truly cheapness and/or tightness of ass that you desire, the beans they must be dried and slow- (or pressure-) cooked.

i’m sitting on my porch on a warm breezy night in Durham, NC with a couple of gimlets in me, and when i saw the initial pic, i audibly said “fuckin A!”

Fuckin a, woman…; )

my nephew – also in Marines, still at Pendleton. Made it into Sniper Scout school too of all things – due for Afghanistan later this year. Go figure….I did get to see him a couple of weeks ago and made him chicken & sausage gumbo!

heather, don't think i didn't consider it. aldyth, he's from san diego, so i don't think his new jersey aunt's tostadas have a lot of sway for him. rachel, did i give the impression that i don't talk about what i want to? because i will write about the free credit report guy all the live-long day. i was referring only to the general rule that one should not write about work on a blog where one is not completely anonymous. because, you know, doocing. maryann, see above.

I love making pinto beans like that. This toast/tost – ada is right up my alley.

BTW, it’s YOUR blog, so you can write about whatever you want. Talk Iran? Sure. Talk about the FCR.C guy? Why not? If we don’t like it, we don’t have to read it.

I want a world where nineteen year olds carry backpacks that hold books or camping gear, not MREs and supplies to take into a war. I’m 55 and I’m not mature enough to deal with the things he’s probably seen.

Just be safe and come home so you Mom and your aunt don’t have to worry about you.

She’ll make you these really great tostadas.

Clearly, the toastada has to have an egg on top.

kellypea, i appreciate that. unfortunately, when i threw a quarter at this is just sank into the beans, so we're talking more of a metaphor here. judy, the same columbian/puerto rican friends who sanction the jarred salsa also pickle and preserve their own chiles, so i have a slight complex about that. kitty, i'm on it. kristie, i don't know about that. i'm really working on the toastada concept. since it's toast, not tortillas, it doesn't have to include other standard ingredients. i think i could be on to something.
