Woonsocket Baked Bean Recipe

To start off the holiday baking season, I'm posting a family favorite.

Woonsocket Baked Beans as cooked by my grandmothers. Both recipes work, both fill you up, and both are known as "Extreme Comfort Foods."





Ingredients:
One bag of White Navy Beans (Can use Northern Pea Beans if Navy not available.)
One smallish white onion
One table spoon mustard powder
One half cup dark molasses
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
One 4-6 ounce slab of Salt Pork, or Pork Fat Back, or you can use a shit load of bacon if you can't find the chunky fat meaty goodness.

Note: This is Memere Hebert's recipe, Memere Trottier added 1/4 cup white sugar and cut the brown sugar to 1/2 cup. Memere Trottier also added 1 teaspoon of salt.

Note: The Undefeated Bean Hole Bake / Klondike Derby Championship recipe that we cooked up, was the above recipe from Memere Hebert plus 1/2  cup Clove Honey!

Cooking:
1. Clean and parboil beans (I hate chewing bean sized rocks)
    Parboil Method 1: Soak overnight, put only one inch of water above one package of beans! (You know what can happen!)
    Parboil Method 2: Boil (more like lightly simmer, not a rolling boil) for 1 hour or until husks start to come off beans)
2. Save the parboiling water, you're going to add this water to the bean mix after the next step.
3. Throw everything into a crock pot and let it stew for 10 - 12 hours or until nice and thick and gooey dark brown!
4. Mix everything up just enough, but not too much or you'll have mashed beans when your done cooking them.)
5. Pour in the parboil water to cover the beans only about 1/2 inch!
(No more or you'll be cooking the beans until tomorrow before its thick.)

A Finer Dining Note:
Don't forget to serve the beans with rolled and tooth picked boiled ham slices, and an ice cold salted "Gansette" to have the full Woonsocket Ice House experience!

Douche Bag of the Week!

Michael Laws:

A New Zealand Sunday Star Times Commentator and a local Christ Church, New Zealand broadcaster is my selection for Campy's Douche Bag of the Week!

I want to be sensitive on this issue and say that everyone is entitled to his or her opinions and should voice them or write them if they feel so compelled. As such, I feel compelled to let the world know that I feel that Michael Laws is a first class, top notch, class A, posh, silver lined, gold encrusted, perfumed DOUCHE BAG!

You got to read his commentary:  Michael Laws on Japan Whaling

And if you're up for it, try this one too: Even more of his crap...

This guy is a DOUCHE BAG!

Please Respect the Service Dog! PLEASE!!!!

Why do some people feel that it is OK to talk to and to pet my service dog without my permission? When a service animal's "Service" vest is on, it's on duty! I'm so amazed at the liberties people take with my service dog when we are in public. Just because you love animals, does not give you the right to engage in a conversation with a service dog!


My service dog Chief, wears, but is not required by law to wear, an easily identifiable service dog vest. I do not appreciate it when he is distracted by someone's twisted definition of "children", or someone's inability to control an urge to pet a strange dog, let alone a working dog, without asking first. At times it is all I can do to be as nice as possible in confronting an offender amicably in an effort to educate them. Many times, especially in crowds, I don't have the capacity to educate, as I am just "getting by" with my service dog's help.  


One employee… One employer! Chief is not bound to respond to you, however he is to respect your presence and alert me to any danger I may not be aware of.  If Chief is acting irregularly, it is for a reason. And I should be the recipient of his attention and energy, as he is the recipient of my attention and energy. Chief has special abilities that I have recognized and capitalized upon, through many hours of training, in order that he my serve my needs, not your emotions! Please respect the relationship between a service dog and his handler.



I know I don't "look" disabled, but that doesn't mean I don't need and rely upon my dog's service. Chief is my employee, not my pet, not my "baby", and certainly not my "little boy" as some self centered, animal lovers address him. I expect Chief, and rely on Chief to perform as I have trained and continue to train him to.



Thank you to my friends and my family for understanding my firm relationship with Chief. Thank you for your support and your help with Chief.
