Anyway, yep on freezing the beans! That batch was an experiment, and

I had to actively mush them up, though I confess I didn't try a bean

guess, 'cause I've read freezing beans leaves them mushy and only good

for recipes where you intend to mush them up! But they looked whole,

even after they thawed, so maybe that's another of those " kitchen myths " .

for summer I spread cooked, drained beans (pinto, white + blackeyes, haven't

tried this with other kinds yet) on a cookie sheet to freeze. fill ziplock bag

when beans are froze solid. they've come out firm when defrosted. the liquid

gets frozen in ice trays and bagged up so I have beans +/or bean juice whenever

needed without heating up the kitchen.

Great idea for the bean juice. Never thought about that. I usually get stuck

and put water in when a recipe calls for reserved liquid and I don't have any.

Thanks.
