Today Byron woke up on his day off and decided he had a hankering for bean soup. SO..... he made some and it was very yummy! He doesn't use recipes, he cooks as he goes and this is what he wrote down (at my request) after the fact. He looks in the pantry and at our plethora of spices and puts things together.
We served it with Bethany's Grandmother's Cornbread (which I'll post soon, with full credit to Bethany (and her grandmother). I had the marvelous cornbread. Byron had a slice of soda bread. Both from the freezer.
