Hot Dog Beans in a Can Old Ad
This ode to franks and beans is an excerpt from "Beans and Harmony," Yankee Magazine, Feb 1995.
Franks and Beans | A Saturday Night Tradition
Aimee Tucker
Beingness married to a Yankee meant we had franks and beans every Saturday night for years. Our eldest daughter hated beans, but her father insisted she eat every bean on her plate. I'd like to say that when she grew upwards she learned to like broiled beans, but that would be a fairy story.
My husband longed for the flavor of true bean-hole beans. Those can sometimes be found at bean suppers, where deep pits are dug and great fires fire all day to create glowing hot coals. The cook and then lowers the beans into the holes in vast black pots and covers them completely with ashes and earth, letting them bake slowly for ii whole days. They are at last unearthed, lifted out, and a nifty feast is had by all. I, with my little saucepan and stirring spoon, had a difficult time reproducing that flavor.
My virtually mutual mistake was to heat the beans too fast. I e'er turned the burner on high. That was heresy to the blistering of beans. All too often the bean critic would shout from the living room, "Don't ruin the beans! Cook them slowly!"
Eventually I learned to simulate a bean-pigsty supper by heating the dark-brown, juicy morsels on the lowest setting for a one-half an hour and non interfering with them in any way. I kept myself busy with the remainder of the supper — a very active exercise. I'd rush to the blender to whip up milk shakes, blitz to butter the buns, check the boiling franks, make sure the beans were heating slowly, cascade out the fries. It was a challenge to consummate everything at once (the marker of a great chef).
I learned that the tension between fast and slow, the yin-yang of trying to accomplish excellence with franks and beans, was the hush-hush of not just a bully supper, simply of a wedlock every bit well.
Did you grow upwardly eating franks and beans on Sabbatum night?
