Hey rice is easy to cook....LOL....I hope you soaked the beans..............
snugglbutt
Nov 3 2006, 04:49 PM
Soak the beans??? You mean the 2 hours after the boiling? Or was I supposed to soak them overnight or something? The link said to mix the bags of dried beans with the rice and boil in 2 cups of water....Don't tell me I was supposed to soak the beans first prior to boiling them. I did rinse them first though.
Sandi Kiwis Mom
Nov 3 2006, 04:55 PM
Usually, I say usually.....you soak the beans for 24 hrs., just cooking them with rice and letting them set for 2 hrs isn't going to cook them enough. You can try to pinch the bigger ones and see what there consistency is like.

Ugh...well the directions didn't say to soak the beans first. I thought when it said "dry beans" it meant dry beans. Can you tell I don't cook beans very often? Will it hurt the fids if the beans aren't cooked completely?
Sandi Kiwis Mom
Nov 3 2006, 05:20 PM
uhhh, well rest assured they won't eat em.....LOL. You know they are clean cause you cleaned them, but your FIDS will probably toss them....just laughing here...ha ha ha

I am pretty sure when it said "dry beans" it was just meant not beans out of a can....
snugglbutt
Nov 3 2006, 05:23 PM
LOL...well, I haven't mixed it all up yet...and beans are cheap. I already mixed the dry beans with the whole grain rice in a ziploc bag. Should I soak the dry beans and rice overnight and try again tomorrow?
Sandi Kiwis Mom
Nov 3 2006, 05:24 PM
soak the beans, but don't soak the rice
snugglbutt
Nov 3 2006, 05:26 PM
Well, normally I wouldn't soak the rice...but considering the rice and beans are already mixed...I am NOT sitting there picking out dry grains of rice out of a mix containing 5 different types of dry beans. I wouldn't think it would hurt the rice to soak it with the beans...do you?
Sandi Kiwis Mom
Nov 3 2006, 05:30 PM
you are so funny. I can just see you now....LMBO. The rice is pretty much just going to be mush, so don't think it will hurt anything
snugglbutt
Nov 3 2006, 05:31 PM
LOL...I'm so glad you find me so amusing.
Sandi Kiwis Mom
Nov 3 2006, 05:36 PM
don't feel bad.....I cooked Majj's recipe for squash puffs or whatever the heck they are called and it was quite comical....anyway hubby thought so
snugglbutt
Nov 3 2006, 05:38 PM
LOL...Tim doesn't know I've thrown out 2 batches of beans and rice yet.

So next question...there are red beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, navy beans, and split peas all mixed together. They all soak 24 hours right? And if not...will the ones that aren't supposed to soak that long be ok? Or will they be mush? I guess even if they are mush, they won't hurt the fids..right?
Sandi Kiwis Mom
Nov 3 2006, 05:49 PM
soak em all.....LOL.....I am leaving for a few hours. A friend I haven't seen in 5 yrs is coming to pick me up. I can't wait to see her.
