Big weekend

[nr]

To Chuckie: African Beans and Rhubarb pie (probably same as your custard pie)
African Beans (crock pot full ( 6-8 hrs) or do in 300 oven 3 hrs)
4 lbs of drained canned kidney beans
2 chop onions
2 sweet green peppers
3 tomatoes chopped or canned
1 sml bottle ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 to 1/2 cup red wine
8 strips bacon (put half of these on bottom of pan, half on top of mixture)

Rhubarb-orange pie: 2 eggs, 1 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 tsp mace or nutmeg 1/4 cup OJ 4 cups cut up rhubarb (1 1/2 lbs)
425 oven for about 50 min.
I just found our first strawberries ripe (all 5 of them) so those will go in to redden it up a tad. I'm going to add a little extra flour since our wet spring is probably why the pie was too runny last time from super-hydrated rhubarb stalks. Least that's my guess

nr---that recipe for your african beans reminds me of one a friend recently gave me for "Cowboy Chili"---baked beans, butter beans, kidney beans, bacon, hamburger, onion, liquid smoke, salt and pepper to taste!! Mmmmmmm!!! that's it.....where's the big crockpot?? I got me some cookin to do before i go off to work tonight!
To ALL!....have a super safe memorial day!! if you are on the road at all today (like my 16 year old), may your guardian angel be traveling with you!!
