Dried Navy Beans Cooked Good and Long

I say cooked good because you can sure
cook them wrong by letting them boil.
Dried beans need to be soaked overnight in water.
Then drained and cooked long and slow,
never boiling. I just went to my stove
to check them and sure enough they were
bubbling away like a volcano.
The beans split open!
This happens when one doesn't
watch the bean pot.
They aren't cooked enough yet
but I just can't resist
and am eating some right now.
They taste great!
and the liquid they are
in is simply addictive.
So mabe I'll soak some more
and tomorrow make it again.
