• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Plans for today (2025)

Thought these were beans but possibly blackeyed peas tho not round enough probably. Given half a bucket of them - grown around here I think

They look like they black eyed peas to me.

I think they are!

Do they have any different cooking requirements than beans?

No. When I cook them I soak them overnight, pour boiling water on them. They take around 40 minutes in the IP, instant pot, on high pressure cook. That would be a couple or so hours on a stove.

Here's a good start. 👍

I usually cook mine in a crockpot, the longer it stews the better the flavor.

That recipe link is in a crockpot.

I cook mine in seasoned bone broth. The only thing I ever cook in water is roasted bones! 😃

Black eyed peas are black eyed beans. Same thing hence same cooking requirements.

Specifically a type of cowpea (a legume), even though they're called "peas"
 
I'm in recovery mode....
Plan was to do nothing at all, but when I got home I noticed that the river water level was low, so we* went in and fitted the pipe to the water pump.
I'll connect the cables tomorrow and then we test.
Fingers crossed

* We is my main guy here and I
