Yes, those white beans you see in minestrone. They're the size and
shape of small kidney beans, but they're white. It's the only can on
the shelf with white beans so even if they had a different name, they
would have been easy to spot.

I rarely ask David to go to the store for me, even with a shopping list.
But when I do, I tell him not to come home until he has found everything on
the list. He hasn't failed yet, but has sometimes gone to four
supermarkets or other stores to get them. <g>

My ex-husband came home from the store with Sure Maxipads, when I had
Sure Antiperspirant on the list. Could I use it? Yeah, but not for the
same thing. This is why I have husband 2.0.

What's a Canelli bean? (nevermind, I can google)

With a pressure cooker, I could make black eyed peas from scratch in
under an hour...

if I wanted too.

Can't stand those things. <g>

Oddly, they are the first kind of beany bean I remember eating other
than Boston baked beans. I love them. *Nobody* in my family is even
kinda sorta from the South, either. I wanted to make a NYs Day
surprise for niece's Texan hubby. Oh well. No can do.

Down South, New Year's Day dinner is collard or turnip greens and black
eyed peas. Every "green" is a dollar and every "pea" is a quarter you
will have for the upcoming year.

Me, Im not having either one.

Does he come back with bonus items? That's been known to happen when
one of us sends the other to the store.

Not quite so funny I'm sure, but here's an example of why I don't ask Rob
to go to the shops for anything more complicated than bread, milk and
cheese :-)

Asked him to get me 2 x 375ml cans of light evaporated milk for something I
was making. He came home with 2 x 400g cans of full fat milk powder... and
he'd asked someone in the supermarket for help! Who, I wondered - oh some
young guy packing shelves.

Solution - printed out a picture of the right product and sent him back to
the shop :-)

Well, hell, if that's the way you spelled it on the list, no wonder he
cudn't find 'em. : ))

You're lucky he even was willing to go. My other half will go but
only if the list doesn't exceed 5 or 6 items - wants to use the
express lines and not spend the whole day searching.

Yeah, I screwed it up the spelling pretty badly... but they're the
only white bean on the shelf and they aren't *that* hard to find when
they're in stock. In any case, he finally found an employee to ask
and they were completely out of both.

You're probably right, Tony, but often times the things I send him for
involve dishes that he particularly likes. (He often calls on his cell
from the store.) :-)

Use an Indian recipe for Moong Dal and substitute the blackeye peas for
the prescribed Dal. Definitely use the pressure cooker. The Indians do.
You wouldn't believe the difference from down home American blackeye
pea recipies.

Ok, I'll google for that.
I'm always game to re-try foods I don't generally like prepared in a
different way.

I'm still trying to work up the courage to re-try brussel sprouts,
roasted instead of steamed. <g> I liked them as a kid but they have no
appeal now. Last time dad bought a package, they rotted in the 'frige
and I felt guilty about that. :-(

Okay, Moong Dal:

(From <http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Moong-Dal/Detail.aspx>)

Looks like other variations are made with lentils or mung beans based on
the google results. I'd also probably substitute stock for the water.

INGREDIENTS

* 2 1/2 cups dried yellow split peas
* 2 1/2 cups water
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
* 1 teaspoon diced jalapeno chile pepper
* 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
* 3 teaspoons lemon juice
* 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
* 1 teaspoon cumin seed
* 1/2 dried red chile pepper
* 1 pinch Asafoetida
* 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

* add to recipe box Add to Recipe Box
My folders:
* add to shopping list Add to Shopping List
* Customize Recipe
* add a personal note Add a Personal Note

DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse split peas; soak in 2 1/2 cups water for 30 minutes.
2. Heat split peas and water, with salt, until boiling. Reduce heat
to medium and cook 15 to 20 minutes, until tender and thickened. Add
more water, if necessary, to prevent drying out. To the cooked split
peas add ginger, jalapeno pepper, tomato, lemon juice and turmeric.
3. Heat oil in a small saucepan and add cumin seed and red chile
pepper. When pepper is heated add Asafoetida and garlic. Stir mixture
into split peas and add cilantro; mix well.

Ok, I'll put them on my shopping list.
I have a bunch of carrots to roast soon, so I can add those to the
roaster.

Any coatings/special treatment?

I do EVOO and garlic. You can go fancier or plainer, but that's what
I like and you can cut them in half or not depending on size. I buy
small ones... maybe an inch in diameter, not too much bigger.
