Granny's gone and done it again

What kind of comb is on that Ayam Cemani? It looks like a pea comb... thought it was a really dark EE.

thats one of the most laid back chickens I ever had. I never messed with it but can walk up and pick it up no problem.

Twist, I would love the recipe for your baked beans.

here you go

2 lbs of dry beans, Great Northern or Navy sort thru and pick out the broken , discolored, and any stones or clumps of dirt rinse and then cover with about twice as much water (I add a little soda) soak over night. Stir occasionally, pick out any floaters and the skins that come off as the beans swell

Drain , rinse again, and then boil until just tender (again I add a little soda) keep an eye on this as it loves to boil over , skim the foam as needed. Drain and rinse again.

While beans are boiling make the "sauce"

1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup molassas
1/2 tsp of black pepper ( I use more)
1 large onion diced
(I also add a couple squirts of mustard what ever you have)

mix all together you can add a little water to any containers of the molasses or ketchup and swish and add back to the sauce

add beans to mixture in large roaster add your left over ham bone and what ever bits you trimmed off. Add enough water to cover the beans

Bake at 350* for 2 to 3 hours or until beans are done. Stir occasionally When almost done pull out the ham bone and remove any bits still attached, can cut up if you wish. Bone is now DONE

you may have to add water occassionally to keep beans from getting to dry

if you like your beans a little darker remover cover and bake for a bit.

REALLY good with fresh homemade bread or a take and bake chibattia

FREEZES WELL

can also be done in a large crock pot

See if you can get some closer pics of the combs. I'm thinking your lavender is a male... lot of comb there. Mine was very late to turn red.

ok, I hope not. It will put me over the limit.
