I like the 15-bean soup mix and have been making it for years. Are there
any other such commonly available mixes I have been overlooking?

TIA

Jeb Bush just so happened to be the Governor of Florida during that

recounts were requested and eventually declared his brother the winner.
Katherine Harris, Jeb’s secretary of state and the co-chair of the
George W. campaign, organized the election system that somehow ended up
losing or spoiling the ballots of hundreds of thousands of
African-American voters, who just so coincidentally tend to vote
Democratic. During the recount period, it is documented that the
Governor’s office made 95 calls to the Bush campaign- calls which Jeb
somehow “cannot remember” the reason for. That answer is unacceptable
for allegations of such importance. Why can’t you remember, Jeb?

Probably. I don't know what's available in your area.

Guess what the bean warehouses figured out to do about one a month
with the beans that fall on the floor... they're swept up and become
however many bean soup mix. Making 15 bean soup is like grinding 15
different types of fish to make fish cakes.

Look at the various rice mixes. I like Trader Joe's Brown Rice Medley
better than Lundberg because it has daikon radish seeds in it that add
an interesting little zing. I also like Trader Joe's Harvest Grains
Blend. Use vegetable or chicken stock (or half stock, half water) if
you try one... stock dresses up plain rice too.

I often see bean soup mixes with the beans segregated by type. I
suppose that after they sweep them off the floor, they pay someone
to sort them again.

Those that are separated by type are obviously not the ones sweapt off
the floor.

Sheldon seems to be a bit paranoid. Most bags of dried beans and bean
soup mixes have directions which say to rinse them before cooking. If
you bother even with the quick soak method it requires a couple of
changes of water. I doubt those directions are on the bag because they
were swept off the floor. The beans will not be dirty.

Good suggestion! I don't have those stores in my area and don't know if
KenK does, but yes, there are some good rice & bean mixes.

He's fun to tweak. I like to think he's a cousin of someone else here
who loves canned beans.

I'd forgotten the Bear Creek mixes. I tried one a year or more ago and
didn't like it either. Never tried another flavor. Evidently some like
them though.

Then there's Lipton noodle mix. OK but not special. I make it a couple of
times a year. I think it was around when I was a kid.

No Trader Joe's here. Not sure I'd go there if there was. I think I've
read they have mostly large quantities of items, not suitable for a
single-person household. Ah well, doesn't matter to me since they're not
here.

But it does bring up the possibilities of mixes other than soup. I'll
have to watch for them.

Trader Joe's actually sells smaller quantities than regular grocery
stores and it's one of the better places for singles to shop, but it's
a moot point if you don't have any in your area. Look around the
grocery store. Couscous comes in a box with flavor packets. I don't
buy them very often because the flavor packets are too salty for me
and I'd rather do it myself anyway.

Getting back to rice, I bought a mix that was called "French Onion
Rice" and it languished in my cupboard for a long time before I
finally used it. It turned out to be one of those "where have you
been all my life" ideas. You'd mimic it by using a package of
Lipton's onion soup mix, I mimic it by either taking the long way with
my own broth and real onions or (more often) the quick way with boxed
broth and dehydrated onions.

You don't need to make an entire package, Ken. Just calculate a
single serving.

For some reason, I generally throw away the flavor packets in stuff -
except for the cheese in mac and cheese.

I'll have to shop a bit more carefully. I tend to repeat buying stuff
I've been eating for years abd don't even see a lot of the other stuff.

The United States Constitution serves as the law of the land for America
and indicates the intent of our Founding Fathers. The Constitution forms
a secular document, and nowhere does it appeal to God, Christianity,
Jesus, or any supreme being. (For those who think the date of the
Constitution contradicts the last sentence, see note 1 at the end.) The
U.S. government derives from people (not God), as it clearly states in
the preamble: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a
more perfect Union...." The omission of God in the Constitution did not
come out of forgetfulness, but rather out of the Founding Fathers
purposeful intentions to keep government separate from religion.

Although the Constitution does not include the phrase "Separation of
Church & State," neither does it say "Freedom of religion." However, the
Constitution implies both in the 1st Amendment. As to our freedoms, the
1st Amendment provides exclusionary wording:

Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
[bold caps, mine]

Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his
January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist
Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State."
Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded. . . is the separation
between religion and government in the Constitution of the United
States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation from
our Founding Fathers.

If religionists better understood the concept of separation of Church &
State, they would realize that the wall of separation actually protects
their religion. Our secular government allows the free expression of
religion and non-religion. Today, religions flourish in America; we have
more churches than Seven-Elevens.

Although many secular and atheist groups today support and fight for the
wall of separation, this does not mean that they wish to lawfully
eliminate religion from society. On the contrary, you will find no
secular or atheist group attempting to ban Christianity, or any other
religion from American society. Keeping religion separate allows
atheists and religionists alike, to practice their belief systems,
regardless how ridiculous they may seem, without government intervention.
