…doesn’t necessarily stay in Bean Club. I’ve mentioned the Rancho Gordo bean club before. It’s a hot ticket item, and there is a perpetual waiting list to get a spot. With the pandemic, their regular store offerings also tend to sell out quickly. It’s a quarterly shipment of 6 pounds of beans (and occasional peas and lentils), along with fun stuff.
Of course you want to see it, right?
It also came with a jar of real Spanish paprika, and a fun gift:
It’s a bean passport! With stickers! And you guessed it, the Coronas are getting cooked today. Actually what’s cooking is a pound of Coronas from a prior shipment. These are huge runner beans, very creamy when cooked up. They are sort of perpetually sold out, but worth hoarding and eating.
Here’s what they look like compared to pintos.
I’m cooking those simply with some sliced onion, olive oil, and fresh herbs from the garden. I’m also cooking up a bunch of pintos to go into the refrigerator for later in the week.
I also buy a lot of beans from Purcell Mountain Farms. They have the Coronas in stock if you can’t wait!
RG also sends their branded tissue paper in the box with every shipment. Lewey isn’t sure about it, but he’s pretty cute in his tissue paper bandana!
you are an inspiration! Gotts be cooking some more beans soon.
Cool tissue for my mixed media art, modelled my Lewey! He’s a cutie. I haven’t been able to find pinto beans for awhile but I haven’t been to any big stores either for safety reasons. Jealous of all your beans.
I’ve never heard of Corona beans! But I have to say, beans of any kind are a real fave around here.
Six pounds of dry beans equal how much cooked?
Interesting label. . .
Lewy is styling!
