Cannellini beans

Cannellini beans soaked overnight.

Bacon and other flavorings start off a pot.  The beans are added, water to cover. Three substantial slices of uncured ham are included, so bacon plus ham. It's a fat control thing. I'm aiming for more fat and more carbs. 

* onion

* garlic

* bacon

* white pepper

* salt

* bay

* brown sugar at the very end. 

I didn't want to color the beans so I held off from the spices. All of those things are impulse. They could have been nearly any combination of spices. I wanted the beans to be light and bright rather than heavy and dull. 

The Haystack goat cheese is a local thing that did well. No longer constrained by herd size limitation due to city ordinances, they've now expanded beyond all of that. 

Yukon gold potato. A small one.
