A lot of Appalachians know that as soup beans. I like to crumble my cornbread up in it to soak up the soup (old-fashioned cornbread is necessary here as sweet cornbread clashes horribly with the beans&taters, and I do love me some sweet cornbread much to my family’s disgust lol). I prefer navy beans to pinto, but a mix is also just fine. Skillet fry some sliced potatoes until kinda but not seriously stuck on and that’s the meal of choice that I request when I go home.

Fun fact: it is served in the Senate office building cafeteria as “Senate bean soup” because a WV senator once upon a time wanted it for lunch every day and had the cafeteria start offering it. I got a good laugh (and a good lunch). Made me think it could be partly to blame for all the windbags in Congress. 🤣

Make sure the ones that protect against fire also protect against water. The 2 features are not always guaranteed to come together.

I muddled through the 1200s with context clues, and was still catching words in the 1100s, but gave up on the 1000s. It was too brutally yuele.

I would love to find an audio version to see how far I could get on spoken word alone. Being from the Appalachians, I’ve always been told our dialect is older.

Omg. That’s a SODA CAN for scale. From the thumbnail, I thought it was a D battery. What a gorgeous project. Heirloom tier for sure. 😍
