    As a lifelong Pinto bean eater Southern boy I recommend cooking the beans in chicken broth with a ham hock. Best you&apos;ll ever eat.

    I feel like this woman happily lives in a forest cottage and visits the local hamlet once a week feeding the orphans, spreading cheer, and sharing grandmotherly wisdom to the townsfolk.

    Mary, I am 79 years old, and back in the late 40’s, - &nbsp;early 50’s, my mom would sort her beans before washing.... meaning she would let the beans pour slowly through her hand, looking for debris, such as rocks, prior to washing. She felt it easier to spot rocks and other unwanted trash while they were still dry. This <br>was the method her mom taught her to use, to keep trash from clinging to beans during the wash cycle, and ending up in the cook pot.<br>It takes a little extra time, but worth it in the end.

    I know a lot of yall complain about the talking. I typically like videos where there&apos;s no jabbering just showing the cooking. But in this case, she&apos;s teaching us technique and nutrition knowledge. This type of video really needs the extra instruction and she doesn&apos;t overly speak like she just likes hearing herself talk. It&apos;s all to the point and educational. I&apos;m following her. I appreciate the nutrition education.

    Hi, Mary! I made my living as a teacher and usually had very little time to cook. At the age of 73, I am still a microwave princess. Now I&apos;ve been told that the health problems I have require-- dear God in heaven!-- a plant based diet.<br> I have to learn to cook.<br>I&apos;m so glad I fond found your channel. Needless to say, I subscribed. I think now I may survive without choking on my own cooking.
