Read Beans and Rice
Cozy, savory, spicy perfection.
I love red beans and rice. Try to use real red beans rather than kidney beans if you can. As for the meat ingredients in this recipe, feel free to vary the ratio of meats and use more or less to taste.
Do you have a favorite RB&R recipe?
I "spoon feed". During the growing season every week usually - at least every other week because sometimes life happens. Sometimes it's granular fertilizer, sometimes it's liquid. Once or twice a month I also add in some micronutrients or maybe soil amendments like humic acid, or biochar.
Oak Grove Community Park to See Development
Residents hope to see parkland near Everman transition from a “vacant lot” to a community gathering hub.
Oak Grove Community Park is 67 acres and is finally getting funds for real development.
Alternative Beans for "Hummus"
Let us suggest a new bean to use as a base for your hummus: the white bean. White bean hummus is as delicious and much creamier than that made with chickpeas.
If you're not using chickpeas, it's not really hummus. However if you're willing to overlook that, other beans can be used similarly. One example is white beans.
You can see our light pollution fillth from space as well. For a long while now.
Not too many care about that either.
Another Take on the First Railroad Coming to Fort Worth
Citizens came together to ensure that a rail line between Fort Worth and Dallas was completed in 1876 ahead of a deadline set by the Legislature.
At one point Fort Worth's population dropped from 3,000 to 600. Until the unified effort to bring the railroad to the town.
Recent History of Anasazi Beans (a federal crime today)
You can buy them at a pop-up farm stand every Sunday.
Dude was gifted a pocketful of 800+ year old beans by a ranger at Mesa Verde National Park. He took them home and managed to grow them, eventually turning the crop into part of his business.
Old Vickery Elementary School Restoration Attempt
The old Vickery Elementary School building, while dilapidated, still has nice bones. Hopefully the Beta Tau Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will have success in restoring it.
It's worth a drive-by if you ever get a chance. Walking past and around though is pretty dicey. There's a good supply of derelicts around and some use the place for overnight stays.
Agreed on most everything.
Canned beans = convenience. Sometimes I get an urge to eat beef weiners (I love meat by products) or spam and I like having them with a bowl of beans for work lunch. Usually pintos or black eyed peas. This happens on a whim so grabbing a can of beans is a perfect fit.
I do keep my own homemade beans in vacuum sealed packs in the freezer. Usually ranch style type or my own Mexican pinto/Anasazi bean recipe. It's just somehow a can of beans seems to be a perfect match for my meat by-product of choice.
Comparisons of Grocery Stores and a few product offerings in Fort Worth
The Fort Worth Report surveyed prices for 11 items at two different Albertsons, Walmart Neighborhood Markets and Fiesta Marts. The survey revealed varying prices for each store.
>Shoppers tend to stick to a handful of stores they are comfortable with and don’t regularly compare prices. People are creatures of habit, he said, and retail stores take advantage of that.
>The retail store can get away by offering you deep discounts on a few items, and they don’t need to offer you frequent discounts.
Advantages of Canned vs Dry Beans
We know that beans are good for us, but which ones should we buy? Dried beans seem like the cheapest option, but we think canned wins every time. Find out why.
I would rather cook my dried beans from scratch. But this article has some arguments for when canned beans are superior.
Security updates should be mandatory. Something like safety recalls on a vehicle.
Big Changes for the Southeast Part of Downtown Fort Worth
With an estimated $2.5 billion in the development pipeline, downtown Fort Worth is set to begin a new period of construction that will reshape the area for the next decade.
Texas A&M. Convention Center. Hotels and Hospitality. Straightening of Commerce Street. Other land redevelopment.
Green Beans in a Slow Cooker
Top 'em off with plenty of crispy bacon! 🥓
The recipe look pretty good. Maybe it might be worth a try once the daily temps get somewhere below 100F.
Gateway Park has 8 Million Dollars
Looking over the nearly 800 acres of open space that make up Gateway Park, pastor Michael Moore can’t help but see the possibilities. He grew up in
And there's an effort to determine how to spend it. Seems you get a (small) voice. Sort of like how Dickies Skate Park off Hemphill came to be.
Bush's Beans Visitor's Center and Factory in Tennessee
The Original Bush's Baked Beans in Tennessee is located in the rolling hills of Chestnut Hill and a charming little farmland town.
Bush's beans has a factory and visitor's center in Tennessee. You can't get into the factory, but you're welcome at the visitor's center. It's all in a small city in the country and probably a relaxing outing.
Thanks. So pretty much the extreme southeastern portion of Fort Worth.
I'm guessing the section of 820 they list might be in the northeastern part of the loop since that area gets so much traffic as well.
Fort Worth Home to 2 of 10 Deadliest Texas Highways
You may never want to get on a Fort Worth highway again after reading this study based on an analysis of 10,125 fatal crashes on Texas roads from 2018 to 2020.
I'm not sure exactly where these are and Google Maps doesn't have an easy way to search by exit numbers. If you know, tell us.
- Interstate 20 from exit 443 to exit 449
- Interstate 820 from exit 33C to 33A
Also this is the first time I've realized 820 is an interstate.
Fort Worth is Melting
It's rough here in Fort Worth for the next 10 days. The highs range from 102 to 109 with nighttime temps falling into the upper 70's after another week.
Passport Fair in Fort Worth - August 6
There's a "passport fair" at the Downtown Fort Worth Post Office on Lancaster on Sunday August 6th. These fairs are described as "passport acceptance facilities such as post offices, libraries, and local government offices are hosting special passport acceptance fairs across the United States to help you and your family apply for your passport." More about them at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/passports/special-passport-acceptance-fairs.html.
This one doesn't require an appointment, but I'd still get there early. It doesn't make your passport free ($165 altogether) but does make obtaining one easier since there will be people to assist and walk you through it.
Hint. Try to park free at the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) parking lot. Technically you need to ride the railway to park there for free but if you act like you belong no one will notice. If that doesn't suit you, just park along the street near the station parking lot and use the tunnel to walk through the station and to the post office.
Tricking Up Those Baked Beans
Canned baked beans deserve more opportunities to highlight their versatility. Are you stuck on how to season them? Give canned baked beans a Tex-Mex twist.
Try making your baked beans "Mexican style." Try using peppers, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder in various combinations.
VIP Beans
I guess all (most?) beans are good for you, but this post specifically calls out a few as being more healthy. The link has much more info and some recipes as well.
- Soybeans
- Lentils
- Black
- Navy
- Adzuki
I've never had or heard of Adzuki. I'm probably missing out.
Our data. About us. Bought by our government. With tax money we gave them. How can I get a piece of this pie?
Yes, these companies they are buying from are getting rich off our tax money. Boycott Google? Not gonna happen. They just get your money indirectly.
Fort Brewery Releases New Lager
Fort Brewery and Hell's Half Acre Stadium Goods are partnering to brew Hell's Half Lager, which will raise NIL funds for Flying T Club.
This post isn't really about the beer but about The Fort's past. Does anyone remember? This place used to be over on Magnolia. Before the current (Fort) owners bought the place, it was Chimera. And before then, Zio Carlo. The old place is now a liquor store on the corner of Magnolia and College.
Stop Rinsing Canned Beans by Default
While you might be tempted to always rinse canned beans to reduce the sodium content, it makes sense to skip this step in certain scenarios. Here's why.
A big reason for rinsing your canned beans is to remove a lot of the salt content. But there are a few good reasons for not rinsing such as maintaining vitamin and mineral content and using the bean juice as a thickener for other dishes
Give it some time. Everyone's life priorities will change and something like this won't be at the top of the list.

Berry Theater is Now Gone
Demolished ASAP. As I predicted, no date set and one day it'd just go poof before any more uproar.
And just like that, uninstalled their app from my Android mobile device. It wasn't that great anyway.
It's "member exclusive content." Can someone copy/paste here so we can read it?
To be clear, it's not me that ate beans every day for a week. It's the author of the post I linked to.
Thanks for the link to the 40 day bean eating Aussie. I'll definitely take a look.
No mention of Mosaic (first web browser)? What sucked was you generally had to compile it yourself. That meant installing all the build tooling, building it, and turning it loose. Oh. Windows? Lol. No go. Gotta get an early version of Linux up and running first. That usually meant 20+ diskettes of Slackware installation.
But then you could surf in all the basic HTTP glory. It was a new world and it was awesome.
Cowboy beans? Never had it. Was it something like this recipe?
I got flagged on my work computer for connecting to derp foo (probably for an image). To satisfy security, had to remove all chrome extensions and reset chrome.
So I don't use Lemmy on my work computer anymore. That's sad.
