Ingredients

14 ounces black beans dried
2 quarts water
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon oregano ground
2 teaspoons cumin ground
1 each green bell pepper quartered
1/2 each onion finely chopped
3 tablespoons garlic minced
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup sherry
1 x salt to taste

Directions

Rinse beans and discard any stones.

In a large pot, soak beans overnight in water with baking soda, oregano, cumin and green pepper.

The next day, add onion, garlic, olive oil, cider vinegar, sherry and salt to the water and cook on medium-low heat for about 3 hours or until the beans are very tender and liquid is reduced and somewhat thickened.

Make sure liquid in pot does not entirely boil away.

To prevent beans from burning, add more water when necessary.

Quick And Easy Pumpkin Bread

This is more of a cake than a bread, but it's still good. I added twice as much pumpkin, since the flavor was a little overwhelmed by the spices, and left out the cloves. I also baked 1hr 30 min at 325, and it came out much fluffier.
