Five Minute Birdbath

Dec-10-2009 By Amber's Garden

Overturn two different sizes of terra-cotta pots, stacking them in the garden. (A 12-inch pot atop a 16-inch pot works well.)

Set saucer atop containers. Fill the basin with water to attract birds.

Dec-10-2009 By Amber's Garden

Ingredients: 2 lbs. kidney beans
4 slices chopped bacon or 1/2 lb. piece of salt pork
2 green plantains, finely chopped
1 T. salt
1 T. cooking oil
4 small tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced 
Directions:
Wash the beans and let soak overnight. Put beans and bacon or salt pork  in a pressure cooker with enough water to cover. Cook for about an hour or  until tender. Ad the plantains and cook until they are soft. Add the salt  and mix well. Apart, sauté the tomatoes, onions and garlic until soft; then add to the beans. Cook another half an hour until all flavors are absorbed. These beans are even better the day after.
