No problem bro, we make refried beans all of the time...

Sort a 1 lb bag of pinto beans, soak them over night, bring them to a boil for two minutes (I always forget so they boil a few minutes longer), let them cool down in the water for a couple of hours, when you are ready to cook them, pour out all of the water except for 1/2-3/4 cup and add enough water to cover the beans, cook on medium high for a couple of hours, adding "only" boiling water if needed, ...when they are tender pour out the water except for 1/4 cup and mash them with a potato masher, ...my Mexican friends back in the States used lard to make them creamy, ...I've tried Crisco and butter, but it's not a true taste, ...add salt and or hot water if needed to make them more creamy, but be careful, the Lard gives them the "salty" taste.

We've eaten the beans like that or have refried them in a frying pan and couldn't notice any significant change to warrant "refrying" them.

We freeze leftovers in plastic Ziploc bags and reheat them with adding a little water in the microwave.

Enjoy!

Lord bless

Will you adopt me?

Be careful going into the packed markets, unless you want to catch this thing.

The rule is to stay six feet away, that is sideways, forward, backward,upward and  oh dear downward too

My daughter went shopping today ( she really is a shopaholic ) and says she was able to get everything she wanted and shelves are starting to fill up again  so all the panic  buyers have probably got enough to last till the end of the century 

It still might be a good idea to "deepen" your pantry ...this is not over.   Buying a few extras each time you shop might be a good idea as store stocks catch up.

but doing that means others cant get what they need NHS staff work very long hours now ( always did really but ridiculous now ) and by the time they get to the shops there is often literally nothing left

Well i have seen similar emotiCONS in many emails i've received from these online "services" saying i have just possibly won a large sum of $$$ if i only complete their bogus survey, and then have to purchase some "deal" just to qualify?? In other words...these emails/posts or whatever are NOT something that should make you trust someone/anyone and what they are saying or "selling"...period!

I can assure you that with this post anyway and that emoji, the very last thing on my mind was building up trust.   LoL    I would warn everyone not to fill out surveys on line for in the midst of most of them are the questions that people ask you for identification questions.....      and if it's political there is always the request for money

And as you are here for a while you will understand that in almost all cases you are welcome to take anything I say or post and ponder on it.....   and your accepting or rejecting it is basically no big deal to me....    I am secure enough in myself that your opinion of me really doesn't matter although it is kind of pleasant to be appreciated occasionally.

and on a side note, I have a tendency to occasionally enjoy frivolity....    just for the fun of it...

Drove through a Taco bell today, -same food, same unintelligible speaker box voice- not missing anything being locked down. It was the first time out of the house since the 9th. The house is more fun than what outside is like now.

I took a walk this morning.....     all the way out to the trashcan....    then to the curb....   then back to the house...    Mondays are trash days...    I'm not even tired...    I may make the trip again late this afternoon in the reverse direction so as to not get in a rut.....     life is good...

I miss my morning swims but even if the pools had not been closed due to this virus I have developed septic arthritis in my foot so wouldn't be able to go anyway and boy am I noticing the difference in my breathing

No nap, but I did have breakfast and another cup of coffee...     then I called the plumber cause we discovered a very small natural gas leak in our bedroom....   and in the process of getting that fixed discovered that our sewer was stopped up so they did the rooter thing on that...    Going to have to replace our whole sewer line to the city lines as soon as it dries up a bit...   been a really busy day so far...
