Congrats to Sister Roper Jr.!

Just yesterday it was Mirk Jr. we were reading about, & over time, so many other Nauvoodle youngsters. It's amazing to see our neighbors' kids growing up & finishing school, serving missions, working, starting families, & so on. It's like being in a "real" ward.

Another hint for pressure cooking beans...

You can add the water and unsoaked beans to the pot, bring it to pressure, and then immediately turn off the heat and let the pressure release slowly. That's about equivalent to a day of soaking. Then drain off that water and add fresh water to the pot and pressure cook like normal. That helps to ensure the beans are evenly cooked.

I used to politely skip these types of mushy feel good threads about family, but now that I have kids, I can give a lot more praise. It is a lot of work to raise a child from diapers to adult. Despite all of the wrong turns that could have been made, that now adult offspring admires you and your teachings enough to follow in your footsteps and dedicate their life to something awesome. Great job.

You're welcome. I sprout seeds, mung beans, etc. during the winter months because salad greens are old, bitter, and expensive. For that, I use round, flat trays. Perhaps I will purchase some rectangle flat trays, so I can do more of the mung beans. Surprisingly Hubby loves them. All the sprouts really. As salads, in sandwiches, in soups.

The only grain I haven't sprouted is spelt. Fred Meyer is now carrying that in their bulk dept, so I can buy a 1/4 pound just to try it, then make bread with it.

I bought some ham hocks today. I am so craving Beans and ham hocks. Need to look up a recipe so I can cook it in my Foodi. Will soak some beans starting now - the ham hocks are frozen anyway, so they can thaw in the fridge. Mmmmm, sounds so good.
