Please put some in the freezer and then warm it up in about a month and re-post to inspire me to make that when we are in a frozen mess, here in NYC…

Giving this bean soup a try for dinner, simmering now. I added 1/4 cup chopped canned tomatoes to use up and amp up the base. Added diced celery instead of leeks, again to use what I had. Soaked RG tarbais beans overnight. I might sink some cod in the finished soup later. Baked country bread and vino.
Happy Monday all,

Excellent word choice, but I am very sad you are out of wine!

It was surprisingly quiet at this mall. But other strip malls were crazy - and so was I for going to those strip malls. LOL
And I’ve picked out a couple of things from my closet that will suffice if I can’t find anything tonight. For “party clothes” I’d rather find it in person.
Excellent word choice and excellent bring-along to a play date.
My brain is still processing “last bottle.”

What you said in that second sentence, @Saregama! I had THREE bottles left and made sure I stopped at Wegmans on the way home from Mom’s on Saturday (at 5pm, no less!) to pick up a half dozen more. LOL

just sent you D’artagnan’s duck confit recipe using tarbais beans
As I mentioned, I would never pay $19.99 for a pound of tarbais beans ( from D’artagnan or Amazon) as 3 lbs is required for that recipe
I always used white Cannelloni beans
Well, when I found them at $6.99 from Rancho Gordo, I ordered 9 pounds, made the duck confit using 3 lbs and was disappointed bec it was too heavy. So, my suggestion is using 2 lbs instead

Appreciate it!
Very creamy bean, cooks up in 25 mins once soaked overnight.
