I soaked beans for the first time the night before last for the chili I made last night. They weren't hard enough, and pretty much ruined all of the chili. I don't know what I did wrong. I used the maximum amount of water the instructions said and even let them soak overnight. The instructions said to soak 6-8 hours or overnight so it was even the max for time!
Maybe they were supposed to continue soaking all day. I drained and rinsed them in the morning.
Does anyone know if beans are supposed to soak for nearly 24 hours? Thanks!
Since I was hungry from my failed dinner, I made blondies for dessert. I hadn't planned on it - but we needed something to perk us up and I didn't want to stand in front of the stove all night making cookies. It was quick to assemble and I let them sit in the oven for 25 minutes. Voila! Now we have 2 days worth of dessert.
Chili didn't go so well
