"Make anything with love, and BAM! It's a beautiful meal." __Emeril Lagasse "Who could ever weary of moonlit nights and well-cooked rice?" __Japanese proverb "What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing. It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!" __Nora Ephron "A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness." __Elsa Schiaparelli "Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet. " __Julia Child "Cooking is a creation." __Piero Selvaggio "'Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers." __William Shakespeare "Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all." __Harriet Van Horne ______________________________________Becca's Cidery Baked Beans Ingredients: 2 cups dried white navy beans 1 small onion, diced 4 tablespoons molasses 8 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons black pepper 2 teaspoons dried thyme 1 small bay leaf 1 teaspoon cider vinegar 4 teaspoons soy sauce 1 and 1/3 cups apple cider, boilin' Instructions: 1) Pick through the beans, removin' all dirt and debris. 2) Wash beans in cold water several times. 3) Put cleaned beans in a pot and cover with 3 inches cold water, then bring to a boil over medium heat. 4) Boil beans for ten minutes, then turn off the heat and let stand for two to three hours. 5) Preheat oven to 250�. 6) Drain the beans and reserve the liquid. 7) Bring the liquid to a boil. 8) Put the beans in a deep oven-proof casserole. 9) Stir in the onion, molasses, mustard, tomato paste, salt, pepper, thyme, bay leaf, cider vinegar, soy sauce, and boilin' apple cider. 10) Stir in enough of the reserved bean liquid to cover the beans. 11) Cover the casserole and bake for six hours, addin' a little more water if necessary after three hours of bakin'.
