   Hi Ben,   
      
   RH> I've since done it with other beans over the years & various   
   RH> places we've lived and usually came home with an empty crock pot.   
      
    B > That's my favorite kind of cooking: so simple no recipe required.   
      
   I do that a lot, then have to stop and think how/what I did to put it   
   together if Steve says he wants it again. (G) The past few months tho,   
   I've been trying new recipies that I either printed off in the past or   
   just searched for/printed to specifically use a certain ingredient (like   
   figs). If they are approved, they're kept, if not, they go into the   
   recycle bag.   
      
      
    B > This morning i made grape mush.   
      
    B > I picked homegrown grapes off of 3 bunches.   
      
   We don't have any home grown grapes. I do remember my dad trying to grow   
   them, ended up with just a few shrivly clumps of raisins, even after   
   several years of trying. I think his biggest problem was that he had too   
   short a growing season.   
      
      
    B > I put 1/2 cup masa harina and 2 cups cold water in a saucepan.   
      
   Steve can't eat any corn products except corn starch and corn syrup.   
      
      
    B > I stirred until well mixed, then added the grapes.   
    B > I cooked it over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring   
    B > occasionally, especially towards the end.   
    B > I served it with 2 tb peanut butter.   
      
   I'll pass on the peanut butter, got overloaded with it when I was   
   younger and was never able to tolerate it since. OTOH, Steve could eat   
   it every day (but doesn't).   
      
    B > It's not fancy but once cooked it smelled surprisingly good. B >   
    I've noticed that some batches of masa harina smell a lot better B >   
    than others.   
      
   I've not used masa in decades, have bought tamales now and again but   
   never noticed a difference in the smell of the masa. (I'll buy them for   
   my supper nights when Steve has a meeting with supper included.)
