The Monster

We have been tracking the price of beans over the last few years and it appears that the "machine" does not really want to sell us tinned beans any more, which is actually a very good thing. The fact that tinned, processed beans have whatever fructose/glucose that they term sugar nowadays along with the mysterious "tomato" sauce and "natural" flavours, makes us want to announce that 2014 will be the "Year of the Bean" in this household, that is, home, baked beans.

And it all starts here, with this monster :

The Rival Crock-Pot, close to 5 quarts, Ceramic Cooker, soon to be filled with beans, beans, beans.

The cooking of home baked beans will also introduce us to the concept of the mason jar.
