Ted,
I lost the battle with my daughter, when she was young, mostly because her mother stepped into the middle. She would rather eat eye lids, lips, and a$$ holes (hot dogs)than good healthy meat. I pretty much lost it with the wife, concerning liver, heart, and kidneys; but she doesn't eat calf or chicken liver either. Your beans sound great, but you should be careful. I made a 16 quart pressure canner full of my chili, for the church's contribution to another church's "wild game" show. Now I have to do it every year, that much is an all day job, but it is a good cause. Down here we are not "tea totalers", but sweet tea is more popular than beer or wine, with our meals.
Mike
