Baked Beans by "The Seat of My Pants"


Friday January 25th
Mostly cloudy again today, although the temperature is still in the 60s; by evening there was light rain.  I bought some Great Northern Beans yesterday, so got out the crock pot this morning and started to make "baked" beans.  I had to do it from memory since I lost my recipe when the computer crashed, but I would have gotten pretty close if I would not have forgotten the brown sugar.  Maybe that was a Freudian effort to reduce caloric intake…..   I used Dijon Mustard instead of ground mustard but whatever difference it made was not noticeable; didn't have any molasses and couldn't think of a reasonable substitute, so I ended up going to the store after breakfast.
After doing the dishes and a few other clean-up details, I headed to Starbucks for coffee and the New York Times.  i would prefer the WSJ but they are all gone by the time I get there.  I was sitting in a different place today and it seemed a lot noisier; I don't know if that was because of where I was sitting or because it seemed busier today than yesterday.
Got back to the trailer in time to finish the laundry for Cathey as she had an appointment for a pedicure at 4pm.
Beans were pretty good despite the lack of sugar; also could have used a little more molasses.
