Bean rain! This is what 3 of my 4 children were laughingly yelling today as bean juice became a misty volcano and then rained down on my kitchen! That picture is Ronnie & Anna pointing to the ceiling where evidence of my folly was dripping down.
Let me back up...it is cold here...like single digits cold...so I decided to make a large amount of chili and let it simmer all day. So...after soaking 2lbs of dried pinto beans overnight, into the pressure cooker they went. Well...as I usually do, I used the 'quick release' method and removed the jiggler from the pressure cooker...apparently, I had a lot of liquid in there and it spewed all over...looked just like a volcano! LOL As the jiggler was hot...I was frantically trying to get it back on to stop the explosion while the kids are laughing hysterically! Ronnie says "We are SO lucky! I bet we're the only family in the world to have it raining bean juice in our kitchen!" |
