I will even order them from RG and everything. I want to know how to make the beans. Am I the only person who can’t figure out how to make the beans?

I read about it about 2 yrs ago in Bon Appetit and ordered it right away. It's strong, like country ham. Thanks for the reminder to order their bacon for BLT season. (and BLTA's...avocado). YUM.

Yellow-eyed beans look beautiful! Love the idea of sweet potato and bacon. I'm with you on pork chops. Jon loves them, but I was over-chopped as a child. Now I think "dry + tasteless" whenever I see a chop. If a protein needs so much gussying up to make it edible, is it worth the dead animal? I'd be interested to try one of those farm-raised varieties. Don’t you guys SLEEP?
