Exactly, Carl. True down to the last bean, all true.
And by the way, those beans strung on a string and hung in the rafters of the attic to dry, they are called shucky beans. I love them but I never grow enough to have any left over at the end of the season for stringing. I do have an attic though, so I've thought about it. They just have to dry in an area where very little moisture can get near them. Love shucky beans!!
On the other hand, I love beans in any form, just as you described.
Bacon grease is about as close to pork as I can get, so I fry the bacon and serve it to others, then save the grease for various bean dishes.
Great and savory memories came dancing through my mind when I read your words. Thank you!
