Being fairly new here, not sure if anyone's posted this one, but it's a hit at our household:


Fart & Dart Beans

Mix together one 16 ounce can of the following: Pinto beans, pork & beans, red kidney beans, lima beans, white northern beans and butter beans.

1 lb cut up bacon
1 chopped onion
½ tsp minced garlic
½ tsp prepared mustard
½ cup vinegar
1 cup brown sugar

Fry the bacon until done, but not crisp. Pour beans, bacon, onion and garlic into large pan and mix. Simmer for 15 minutes a combination of the mustard, vinegar and brown sugar.

Pour the liquid over the beans and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Mix the beans a couple of times during the cooking process.

Yeah, DW, I can see how those ingredients would tend to make one a little gassy, hence the name of the dish. In fact, if a good wind came along, you might just float away like a balloon. :teeth_smile:

When the wife and I married, in 1960, she couldn't boil water. But under the tutelage of my mom and grandma, she became one heck of a cook.

For probably 25 years, she prepared for our entire family (all the kids, grandkids, and various other relatives) a huge spread for Thanksgiving (fast approaching), consisting of roast turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, ham, and numerous side dishes.

One of my favorite side dishes is what we've always called 7-cup salad. It's a fruit salad with 1 cup (or proportional measurements, depending on the crowd) each of diced pineapple, small marshmallows, maraschino cherries, mandarin oranges, pecan chunks, sour cream and shredded coconut. Ummm, ummm good.

Unfortunately, as the wife is fast approaching 70, she's no longer physically up to the task of preparing this holiday feast so it looks like our favorite daughter-in-law will assume the duties of chief family cook on holidays. But I've told my wife that I'd still like her to provide the 7-cup salad, fudge (she makes a wonderful fudge, based on my mom's recipe), and even the cornbread dressing (no one else even approaches her great recipe and taste for this traditional Thanksgiving dish).

I love Chinese food. And probably my favorite Chinese dish is that shown here. Try it and I'm pretty sure you'll like it.
