We had a cookout tonight - partially so some of our friends could meet Colleen, and partially because it was another friend's birthday. SO WHY NOT THROW A PARTY. ....um, yeah, anyway.I made some baked beans and was pleasantly surprised that everybody LOVED THEM. I'm not trying to be conceited or anything, I'm just....touched, I guess! I'm not used to being complimented for cooking, LOL. I was going to do it the way my grandmother does, but I wasn't sure exactly how and was too lazy to call her. I knew she used ketchup and brown sugar (funny, I'm listening to ZZ Top's "Brown Sugar" as I type this. And wow, I'm actually typing and singing at the same time... I usually can't do that with the greatest results, LOL), but I wasn't sure how much to put in it. So I went to Yahoo! Answers and asked what would be the best way to prepare two cans of Bush's baked beans, and I got a LOT of responses (7 within the first 10 minutes). So I actually ended up combining a couple of them and it turned out awesome. I opened both cans and partially drained the watery sauce it's in and dumped (heh) it into the pot. I then added 1/4th of a cup brown sugar, 1/4th of a cup molasses, 1/4th of a cup Bull's Eye smoked BBQ sauce, 1/4th of a cup ketchup, and some spicy brown mustard (probably about a tablespoon, if that). Our friend Tom was all excited about them, both he and and his girlfriend Darlene said they were the best beans they'd ever had, and Tom had one or two extra helpings, then designated me as "the bean person". Cool. BEHOLD! ...I am... The Bean Person. So I just had to share my elation. I'm sure stoked ahout it. Another good sign: the beans were completely gone when everybody was done!  |

Also, they weren't the pre-made Bush's (heh) baked beans, were they? Just plain beans? I thought Bush's (heh) were pre-seasoned?

They were, but they're not seasoned heavily at all. I drained over half the original watery sauce out. All my additives made them nice 'n' thick (heh).

hi, i came across your blog after doing an image search for jerry reed and found a desktop wallpaper you made. it's unbelievable. great job. i am searching for photos of jerry because i'm about to add him to a series of paintings i'm doine. i was wondering where you found such a high resolution photo of him to use in your wallpaper. if you could email me back i'd really appreciate it. thanks. p.s. i've tried posting my email in here but it won't let me so i will check back in a few days for a response. thanks again!

Lee, first of all thanks for the compliments!!! Second, the image was NOT high resolution, unfortunately. I only made it look good by applying many, many effects to it to hide all of the flaws. It was from a photo on the front of one of his albums called "Dixie Dreams". Perhaps if you could find this album, you could take a good picture of the front of it with a good digital camera and turn it into a high res image - that'd be your best bet (I've done so with album covers before), in my opinion! It's my favorite photo of him, but the original (before I made it into a wallpaper) was about 235x235 pixels in size. Email me if you'd like me to send you that picture; Tblog doesn't allow links and email addresses in comments to prevent spam, but here's my email - just remove the spaces: smokestack.lighnin @ yahoo . com

Very, very cool! I'm looking at your paintings right now, and wow - I must say my favorites are Bastogne and the one of Captain Speirs. I'm a HUGE fan of Band of Brothers, and am a big WWII buff. But I think all your stuff is great!!
