Recipe of the Day: Beanie Wienies for Grown-Ups (recipe and photo via Homesick Texan)
Ingredients:
1 pound of pinto beans
1 onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic
1/4 pound of salt pork, diced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup molasses
3 T chile powder (I used a mix of ancho and chipotle chile powders)
1 teaspoon pequin or cayenne
2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup of black coffee
Pinch of baking soda
8 good-quality hot dogs, sliced into ˝ inch thick slices
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. Soak the beans in a pot filled with 8 cups of water overnight, or do a quick soak by boiling the beans in 8 cups of water and then covering the pot with a lid for one hour.
3. Heat the canola oil in a large pot on medium, and sauté onions until translucent, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes.
5. Stir in the molasses, chile powder, cayenne, mustard powder and brown sugar.
Add the soaked beans, and stir in coffee, baking soda and diced salt pork.
6. Add enough water to cover beans with two inches of water.
7. Cover the pot, and place in the oven. Leave alone for 2 hours.
8. After two hours, stir beans, add more water if needed, cover and then leave in the oven for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on beans tenderness.
9. Take pot out of the oven, and taste beans. Make taste adjustments with mustard powder, chile powder, and molasses if necessary. The beans should be tender at this point. If they’re not, cook covered a while longer until they are.
10. Turn up heat to 400 degrees, uncover pot, and add hot dogs and cook for 30 more minutes or until sauce is thick.

What happened with the Senate vote about the White House subpoenas yesterday afternoon? I can't find a follow-up on that...
If we miss that satellite, we're gonna look even dumber than we look today.
That picture is making me ill. Yuck.
Procrastinating on the surveillance society: House Leaves Surveillance Law to Expire.
What about the three new ferries? From the PI.
How much total money did Obama and Clinton give in campaign contributions to anyone? Is the money given to superdelegates a significant percentage of that? Is that percentage significantly different than what a random sampling of Senators gave to superdelegates?
These are the questions to be asking, instead of taking circumstantial evidence of corruption as gospel.
What about the riot at Evergreen last night? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004184184_webriot15m.html
They censured the two White House officials yesterday, @1, and in protest that law-hating GOP walked out.
But they're now officially felons, and no word on fines, jail time, if armed Capitol Hill police will go into the White House to drag them out of their offices kicking and screaming and lock them in the jail cells they have in the Dome, or what.
Last time this happened was 1984.
@7 Check Line Out.
I hate bernanke
I would love to have McCain leave the Senate to campaign for President, and then lose to Obama while a Democrat wins his seat.
Too much to hope for, I guess.
Well, since all Democratic members of Congress and the Senate are Superdelegates, somehow ECB is trying to paint Obama's gifts (to dems in tough races) as a bad thing, and Clinton's relative stinginess a good thing.
Nice spin there! Wanna cookie?
I have a soft spot for L'il Smokies in BBQ sauce

Woo-hoo!
Oh, and they told Bush he can take his no-warrant wiretaps and stick them where the sun don't shine.
It's a good day in America.
