  • Overnight Soak for Beans: Soaking your beans overnight is the most traditional method, and it yields the best results. It allows you to cook beans on the stove quickly without sacrificing flavor or texture. To soak beans overnight, put the beans in a pot and cover with water by about two inches. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt per pound of beans and allow them to soak for 4 to 12 hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking.

    Short Soak for Beans: If you didn’t plan ahead to soak your beans overnight, don’t fret. You can still get similar results using this quick soak method. To start, put the beans in a pot on the stove and cover with water by two inches. Add salt and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the beans soak for an hour. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking.

    I also add half a yellow onion to my beans while they cook.



  • I tried this type of dish rack after I saw it on a meme on Reddit or something, and I had to return it within a week or two.

    I felt that it hogs too much real estate on the kitchen, and makes it look more cluttered than it may be.

    I hope it works out better for you, but if it don’t feel right, just return it because you have a beautiful set of windows that you won’t enjoy as much with the rack in front of them.






  • Mexico does in fact have regulations against operations like the one you are describing, because they are harmful to the environment.

    Enforcing these regulations can be challenging, but I’ve seen people lose everything they own over similar violations.

    For example, some Americans opened an Airbnb cabin operation on protected land near by where my mama lives. They ran the operation for about a year before the government caught whiff of it. One of the owners ended up with jail time because the land they destroyed to build those ugly-ass cabins was endangered salamander habitat.

    The cabins got torn down and now that area is managed by the local university for wilderness restoration research.
