I finally managed to get into the Rancho Gordo bean club (I think I was on the waiting list for 2 years?…maybe longer?) and I LOVED the Royal Corona Beans that came in my first box. They’re enormous. I cooked them in a slow cooker and I was beginning to fear they would be a disaster as they oh-so-slowly blossomed. But, when they were done, they were absolutely delicious. And, again, they’re enormous. :-)
I'm jealous! I quit after we truly overloaded on beans (both through bean club and additional orders) and I haven't been able to get back in. The Royal Coronas are really special. They remind me of something like a cross between a bean and potato. Enjoy!
As for a recipe - I made this tart w/ strawberries (veganized w/ oil instead of melted butter) and I won my department's summer cookoff :) Def want to try it again w/ bluebs or peaches!
yeah i did a 50/50 blend - i think my mistake was using the grams she had for the butter pre-melt? so something to experiment with but i feel like tart dough isn't toooo unforgiving

I'm loving eating dinner outside weather!

Oh I’m glad to hear you had success with replacing butter with oil in a fruit tart. I’m going to try this.
yeah i did a mix of coconut and canola - ended up needing to add in more flour so i'll prob start w/ less oil next time and see how if i need more
Good to know. I love it when someone has veganized something and shares the knowledge. Was a 50/50 canola/coconut oil blend?

Thanks for the scoop!
Haven't found something quite like the podcast since it ended, so happy to be able to hear your thoughts on food and life here!
That is so sweet. I miss the pod too. Thank you.
