Day 1720 - Pinto Bean Pie???
Greetings, Blogregation - DID YOU TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK? If you didn't - better do it now!
I went to the annual holiday craft fair at the AgExpo park in Franklin yesterday.
My big 'find' was this - I paid $8 for a homemade, pinto bean pie! I could NOT pass up such a novelty.
IT IS YUMMY - definitely NOT a diet food.
Pinto Bean Pie was a depression era Southern recipe, and some versions of this were called 'Mock Pecan Pie'.
This one has coconut in it. Some recipes I read online yesterday did not. Yes, I had to research this - nobody I've spoken to has ever heard of pinto bean pie. Imagine a coconut pecan pie and that comes pretty close. Very sweet, with enough sugar and coconut so you don't notice there are BEANS in your DESSERT.
Hey - my thinking was it added some nutrition to a dessert - eh?
Enjoy your extra hour of sleep today - and I know you'll be envying our Pinto Bean Pie! Very cold again here this morning - 28 degrees.

Hello, my concert with the Women's Chorus went well. This is what we sang: One Voice (Wailin' Jenny's), Arlington (also WJ), Both Sides The Tweed, Parting Glass, Up To The Mountain, Walkin' After Midnight, I Fall To Pieces, Crazy, So Small, What Hurts The Most, Just A Closer Walk With Thee, and Ghost Riders In The Sky. We had a pretty full house, close to 100. It sounded great, we had 22 singers this time. I'm very happy.
Stuck on the island tonight, nor'easter going on out there.

That sounds great, Marcia! (except for the weather, that is)
I like the song selections, and congratulations!
