Congratulations! Of course we all knew she'd do great in
grad school and would be a credit to all those who know her.

Wholly frijoles - what did you do to deserve temperatures
like that?

Does your range light when the electricity is out?
I.e., does it rely on an electric starter, and if
that's not working, can you use a match?

      Title: Eva's Beans
 Categories: Mexican, Beans
      Yield: 1 batch

      2 c  Pinto beans, washed and
           -picked over
      8    Roma tomatoes, seeded
           -and chopped
    1/2 lb Sliced bacon, cut
           -into squares
      1 lg White onion, diced
      1 cl Garlic, crushed
      8    Jalapeno peppers, seeded
           -cut into strips
      4 c  Water
      2 c  Beer
      1 tb Mexican oregano
      2 ts Ground cumin
      1 c  Chopped cilantro
           Salt to taste

  (Eva's beans were HOT, if you don't tolerate hot stuff well, feel
  free to reduce the amount of peppers)

  Place all ingredients except salt and cilantro in a large pot.  Bring
  to a boil, cover, and remove from the heat.  Allow mixture to stand
  for 1 hour.

  Return the pot to the heat, and simmer until the beans are tender.
  Add cilantro and salt to taste.

  Remove about 1 cup of the cooked beans from the pot, along with some
  of the cooking liquid.  Mash the beans into the cooking liquid, and
  return the bean puree to the pot.  Stir to combine.

  These may be served as an accompaniment to a meal, or as a meal in
  themselves, accompanied by a stack of flour tortillas.

  Eva insisted that these beans did not reheat well, and should be made
  fresh daily.  I disagree -- the leftovers are great.
