This sounds absolutely delicious! I just bought cranberry beans at the health

food store -- we like them plain, with green onions sliced on top and lots of

pepper, served with corn bread. But this sounds like a delicious new way to

enjoy them. I've got to go to the grocery store on Monday, so will pick up the

ingredients I need, and try this.

make peace,

Annie
