Dear Citizens:
To help insure comity in the Senate and among my friends, at this festive season, I will submit to you in the next few days three especial recipes. Today the U.S. Senate's Bean Soup.
This recipe is for Kevin.
1. Soak two 1lb. bags of Navy Beans overnight in enough water to cover them.
(You don't have to watch the beans soak but if you want to please be my guest. I suggest reading a novel (Hound of the Baskervilles) or Senator Reid's Senate Heath Care amendment.---If time is a factor--less than 72 hours to make the soup--bring the beans to a boil, turn off heat, cover and in an hour you are ready to proceed.
2. Add more water to cover soaked beans and add 1 to 11/2 pounds of ham bones with plenty of meat on them. (Country ham bones give the soup a slightly more spicy taste.)
3. Cover and simmer slowly approx. 3 hours --stir the soup frequently.
4. Saute a chopped onion, add to soup.
5. Correct seasonings.
Serve hot this recipe will feed 1/10 th of the Senate.
Some folks say there are mashed potatoes in the soup--but that is only done to the soup when served in very large quantities--and you will never taste them. Trust me on that point.
Tomorrow for the Slugg and the WasterHead--White house Egg Nog.
Be Well Citizens

Dear Citizens
I have started this blog so I won't alienate everyone I know with my rants.
But I hold this truth to be self evident:
When we say “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”
affordable health care for all should be assumed.
My granddaughter should be guaranteed the same high quality health care in the U.S.A.
as my grandson has in the U.K.
