Thanks for your tips, I did end up dumping the soaking water and then boiled the beans in water with a bay leaf and a little chili powder. Once they were definitely done, I put them away till dinnertime. At dinner I sauteed some onion and garlic, added the beans and seasoned with salt, pepper and more chili powder. Then I sprinkled some cheese on top with a dollop of the yogurt.
The beans weren't awesome. Definitely not as good as the ones I get at the cantina in town, and nowhere near as good as the ones at Dos Caminos.
Can you give me your bean recipes? Especially red beans (kidney or pinto?) and black beans.
I do think Beano is helpful, and my mom swears by it. It's an enzyme that neutralizes the gas. Or something. You can learn more here: Beano has a "University of Gas" series of videos to explain the ins and outs of flatulence. Yes, really.
Ooooh, and I forgot to mention my other favorite use for Greek yogurt: I really love chip and veggie dips, and now I add the mix to yogurt instead of sour cream and I have a high-protein snack with cukes or peppers. Love!
