Many, many years ago, when on a new job, in a new city, I invited a few new co-workers over for a dinner party, featuring the Famed Charleston 13-Bean Soup.

Can you tell I went to the Bootstrap College of Culinary Arts?

No one told me you needed to SOAK beans BEFORE cooking.

After a few hours of beers, waiting for the pebbly beans to do ANYTHING, we ordered in pizza : )
