Served with salad and garlic and cheese Focaccias bread that I bought at Costco. This was a great meal and good company.

Recipe for the beans:
Cowboy Beans or Ranch Beans


"Cowboy Beans" or Ranch Beans or whatever.

2 Lbs. pinto beans, rinsed sorted and soaked overnight (or quick soak. Boil for 2 minutes and let stand 1 hour and drain and rinse.)
1/2 stick of butter
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 bell pepper, finely chopped
1 14.5 oz.. diced tomatoes with juice
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup chili powder
1/2 to 1 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on your taste)
1 - 6 oz. can tomato paste
1 cup chopped cilantro
2 qts.. chicken broth, 1 qt. beef broth the kind you get at the market

Melt butter in large pot or dutch oven. Add bacon and next 4 ingredients and saute' for about 4 or 5 minutes until vegies are tender but not burned. Add cilantro, chili powder, cayenne and tomato paste and cook about 3 minutes. Add beans, broth, salt and pepper to taste, bring to boil then lower heat and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours or 'til beans are tender. During this time liquid smoke (remember, a little of this stuff goes a long way) and tabasco and adjust seasonings to taste. If you want this thicker you can mash beans against the side of the pot to thicken.

Ross ribs and beans, salad look good, but I want that pie. I want that pie!. I haven't had a strawberry rhubarb pie since my mother passed away.

Ross I have a question for you. I see your sink and faucet is that a Grohe faucet? I have a Grohe lady lux and looks very similar to yours. Do you have any problems with the handle going all the way back to the splash? I did with mine and I turned the faucet with the handle facing forward over the divider in the sink. Worked well for me and keeps a wet hands inside the sink rather than the countertop.

I have not had a problem with it, I'll cross my fingers. My grandmother use to make a strawberry rhubarb pie that was out of this world,
