Jake's Blessing

This is the only picture I have. The group picture was taken with another camera. Matt gave a beautiful blessing. It was so wonderful to be with the babies. We missed the Bassetts and Peter. We had a dinner after. Tried some new recipes. This is the one we really liked.

Mixed Bean Dip (also works as a bean salad) Emy's recipe
Bring to a boil for one minute:
2/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon salt
Cool then pour over the bean mixture
Drain, rinse and combine one can of each:
Black-eyed peas (we used frozen)
Small kidney beans
black beans
small white beans
White corn (we used frozen)
Dice small and add:
Sweet onion
Celery
Sweet Pepper (any color)
Refrigerate at least overnight. Can be made up to 2 days before serving. Serve with Fritos--that's the best.
---4 days later, this was still really good bean salad. Yum
It makes a lot.
Thanks Emy for sharing

Jess, It was great having much of our family there for the blessing, but some very important people in our family were unavoidably detained: Our Bassett babies, all seven of them and our Peter. And we missed you all terribly. Love you.
