These are dried beans and just came in to the market. I decided that
I would cook them before they have a chance to get old. The owner of
the market said the many people put them in the freezer.

Besides we like to eat pintos, cole slaw and cornbread for a meal.
Since we have moved we found a mill less than 10 miles away that
processes both corn and flour.
