Thanks, QSis!!

And it IS delicious!! Still got some, and I'm going to have some more soon!

Only shortcoming with dried beans is that they give me lots of gas. But the beauty of it is that it's only me living here, so I don't have to feel embarrassed around anyone else when I expel it, if you know what I mean! Hah! :wink: :wink:
