There was an incident years ago...with Pinto Beans
a co-worker told me to soak the dry pinto's in water with baking soda to remove the "gas" factor...she left one step of the process out..you must rinse the beans after soaking them in the baking soda water. I just poured the beans into a pan of clean water and proceeded to cook them.
DH took them for his lunch the next day.He came home that evening and asked what the @&%& I had done to the beans. Seems as baking soda combined with pinto beans...bloated him so badly that he felt he was going to implode
He accused me of trying to kill him off
