"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
Our Dad should have been born down south. He loves southern food. He found this recipe and has been blessing us ever since. Always use fresh dry beans, which should cook up very creamy. Old beans will never truly cook right.
