Thanks! The beans are black eyed peas, supposed to bring luck in the coming year… Not a big fan of baked beans, myself… too much sugar. We use the leftover ham from Christmas to use in the beans. Works out great.

The IPA is a local brewery (Redmond, WA). It’s available in all the Kroger’s around here… not sure about outside the PNW.

And yea… those ribs did not last long…
