I'll mix just about anything together, but my youngest and I are the only ones who would eat it. My husband and my eldest prefer their food separated. Isn't it funny how we inherit these traits?<br /><br />My reaction was more along the lines of - 6 cans!

So if we have a weekend getaway planned, we head toward Sheridan :) (Actually Buffalo - just a little ways south of Sheridan on I-90. A great little town, especially if you're a Longmire fan!)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-75954510857327341332015-11-16T15:49:11.764-05:002015-11-16T15:49:11.764-05:00Jan, the apple and bean combination sounds interes...Jan, the apple and bean combination sounds interesting. And I like sweet and savory, so this should work for me. Laughing at your suggestion to take new recipes to the church potlucks. Definitely a good way to taste test a new dish.<br /><br />Going to the mountains recharges my spirit. Your Wyoming pictures (even from last year) are refreshing. We enjoyed our mountain and desert time in Wyoming for eight years. I regret I never made it to Sheridan, WY. <br /><br />Thanks for the recipe celebrating autumn colors and flavors!

However, I am a fan of sweet and savory, so we'll see.<br /><br />Time at the ranch or the mountains always fills my tank. So maybe when we finally move to the ranch, my tank will be filled all the time.

I have to think about this. <br />Once my husband saw a flat of canned beans at the store for a really, really low price. He brought them home (even though we usually just cook our own pintos by the pot). I didn't see one before he opened it and put it in some Tupperware for work. Well, it was actually pork and beans... which he'd never had. He was horrified. Apparently, sweet beans are an American thing. We still laugh about it. I actually like pork and beans, when they show up at picnics. <br /> I do want to try this but I'm afraid I'd be the only person eating it. :(<br /><br />So, do you know where this recipe comes from, Jan?Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-82756621022640298662015-11-16T01:49:42.018-05:002015-11-16T01:49:42.018-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.com
