Cooking Beans With Or Without Salt

We all know there is a fine line between faith and foolishness. Prudence would dictate that in most circumstances the church should build what it knows it could afford and not build solely on potentially misplaced faith. I realize this statement may not sit well with some readers, but too often we all (not just churches in building programs) plan first and pray later; we ask God to bless our mess, which is pure presumption on our part. If the church is building God’s vision in His timing, then moving in faith is not misplaced. If the church is moving forward with any other vision or timing, then there is no valid basis for faith.

INSTRUCTIONS

Michele is right on target about salt making most beans tough.  Keep
in mind that the reverse is true - if you are trying to keep the more
tender beans from disintegrating, add salt to the cooking water. I
always cook dried lima beans in salted water. Several veg. cookbooks
have excellent tips on handling beans and dealing with problems -
Laurel's Kitchen and Lorna Sass' Cooking in an Ecological Kitchen (or
maybe From an Ecological Kitchen, I can't remember) come to mind
immediately.  Posted by "Anne.Cox" <20676AC@msu.edu> to the Fatfree

A Message from our Provider:

“There’s more hope for murderers than the self-righteous”

Scripture clearly proclaims Jesus as being God. Long before His birth it was divinely predicted that He would be called Immanuel, which means “God with us,” (Matt. 1:23; cf. Isa. 7:14). He was called by many divine names, such as “the Holy and Righteous One,” (Acts 3:14). It declares that to know Jesus is to know God the Father (John 8:19; 14:7), to hate Him is to hate the Father (15:23), and to believe in Him is to believe in the Father (Matt. 10:40; John 12:44; 14:1). It affirms that to see Him is to see the Father (John 14:9), to honor Him is to honor the Father (5:23), and to receive Him is to receive the Father (Mark 9:37). It proclaims that Jesus is omnipotent (Matt. 28:18), omnipresent (Matt. 28:20), changeless (Heb. 13:8), creator of the world (John 1:3), able to forgive sin (Mark 2:5-10) and is to be worshiped as God (Phil. 2:9-11; cf. Matt. 28:9, Heb 1:6).
