Probably saved my licence, not to mention my health and well being more 
than once. I used to do things to excess.

I'm pretty sure we will bring the Armstrong Powered chair folded up in 
wither the trunk or back seat. I haven't figured a way to get the 
powered apparatus in the Benz, yet.

If she gets too tired she will just doze off unapologetically. 
Fortunately she doesn't snore.

      Title: Brenda's Black Bean Soup
 Categories: Soups
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      3 c  Dried black beans
      2    Ham hocks
      1    Bell pepper (chopped)
      1 sm Onion (chopped)
      1    Whole sour orange or
           -tangerine
      1 tb Vinegar (if you used a
           -sweet orange or tangerine)
    1/4 lb Oleo margarine
      2 tb Flour
           Salt and pepper
 
  Tried out the "White Trash Cookbook" last night and whipped up this
  black bean soup.  In spite of the fact that I forgot to finish it
  with the browned flour and butter, it turned out pretty darn good, if
  a tad bland. (I did cheat and use real butter instead of oleo.)
  Here's the recipe. Never having had black bean soup before, let alone
  making it, I'm not sure what would be kosher to liven it up a bit.
  Anyone have any tips? I served it with cornbread and a plate of
  sliced homegrown tomatoes. BTW, the recipe is transcribed exactly as
  it appears in the book to give a taste of Mickler's writing style.
  Pretty neat stuff, though I'm not sure if I'm ready for the cold
  collard sandwich yet...
  
  Put your beans in a soup pot and cover with water.  Boil, take off
  the fire and let sit til cool.  Cook onions and bell peppers in 1/2
  the oleo until limp.  Add them and the ham hocks and orange to the
  cooled beans; cover charitably with water.  Simmer until beans is
  soft (1 to 2 hours). Fish out the orange right now, before it gets
  tore up.  With the rest of the oleo, brown the flour in a black
  frying pan, then stir it into the beans. Brenda says:  "Make sure you
  got a soup, now.  If you need to add some more water, do it."
