I spent all day in the hospital ER today.  My dh has double pneumonia and was so sick this morning that he let me take him to the ER.  All of this comes on top of the liver problems and too much iron in his blood and other complications his is dealing with.  At the hospital they gave him two different antibotics I.V.  This took hours. He will have to have I.V.'s for the next 4 days. That means 4 trips to town (40 mile round trip) that we haven't budgeted for.  But I know that the Lord will bless us. We had planned to work in the garden today, Weeding LOL.  I have several different ground covers that are far over due for planting in some areas that need something special.  It has rained for two days.....all around us ....but not in our little valley. So tomorrow I will be watering the orchard, it takes a while to water  130 fruit trees. I love working on our homestead. I've lived here for 30 years and the work is never finished LOL.

Try this recipe for pinto bean fudge.  I served it at a dinner at church and it was a hit.

1 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter
1 2/3 cups mashed pinto beans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 pounds powdered sugar

 

Melt together unsweetened baking cocoa and butter. Mix in thoroughly drained and mashed pinto beans, vanilla, and powdered sugar, and nuts.

Place in a large, buttered, shallow baking pan with sides and chill until firm.

Makes 24 pieces.

 

Chopped nuts.
