Thanks for the partnership and comic shout-out!
Meredith, I didn’t see a reply button about poisoning your family. But after living in Mexico for about a year, I witnessed that woman would cook a big pit of beans for the entire week, and leave them on the stove with burners turned off. I was a bit taken back by what they were doing but learned they boiled the beans each time before eating, at a specific temperature and for a certain amount of time to kill the bacteria. I, nor anyone else I knew, ever got sick and this was a weekly tradition. I am sure there is scientific proof of the degrees and amount of time needed to kill the bacteria. I simply have not done it that way, myself.
Thanks for that, Barbara! That makes a lot of sense–maybe I could’ve salvaged that bean soup. 🙂
