Tips and ideas:
- If you forget to soak overnight, you can always boil beans for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and set 1 hour... then proceed .
- I sometimes cheat and use canned beans, and add all the ingredients, then boil simmer about an hour on the stovetop... But for best flavor cook them all day or night!
