It's a pleasure to meet you. Yes, I'm with you - dried beans would no doubt kick this recipe up a notch. On behalf of my sister: it's nice to know that someone else out there spells Kasey the <I>right</I> way. :)Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778305776209193697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057770631517303937.post-76644801321118224432009-05-07T14:16:00.000-04:002009-05-07T14:16:00.000-04:00This sounds fantastic!

I was traveling and away from my computer over the last few days, and now I fear I have let you down. Here's a much belated answer to your question: I typically serve these little beans as a vegetarian main course over rice, with a side of greens. But yes, I think they would be splendid alongside a main event of roast chicken or meatballs. One thing is for sure - no one will leave your table hungry! If you have a moment, please do let me know how you and your guests enjoyed the meal.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778305776209193697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057770631517303937.post-81186167820288455592009-04-08T22:42:00.000-04:002009-04-08T22:42:00.000-04:00Hi Jess! I have bookmarked this recipe and now it is the time to put it on the dinner table. Do you think it will go well as a side to roast chicken and beef meatballs?

How nice to meet a fellow thesaurus-lover. I bet we could compare some pretty scary poetry from our respective childhoods... Thanks very much for your comment.

It's nice to meet you. Thanks so much for stopping by, and for your pottery praise. I used a technique called soda firing to get that interesting finish.
