Current mood: inspired
3/4 clove garlic (crushed)
1 pint Olive Oil
1 rambunctious, blue-eyed two year old named Nathan
1 cup dried white Navy beans
1 large tomato
2 cans "Uncle Skinny's Original" authentic baby bathwater or condensed chicken broth
2 zucchini (sliced)
4 sticks butter
1/2 bag Dum-Dum's lolipops
Salt and pepper to taste
---
Day before: In bowl cover beans with cold water. Refrigerate, covered, overnight. Next Day: Drain.
Pick up Nathan from daycare.
Pour into 8-quart kettle with two quarts of water, the olive oil, butter and 2 cans "Uncle Skinny's Original" authentic baby bathwater. Bring to rolling boil. Reduce heat. Simmer covered.
Meanwhile: Crush garlic and tomatoes in seperate bowls. (You can have Nathan do this. He will think it is a game.) Slice zucchini.
Add garlic, tomato, beans and zucchini.
Add the Nathan by offering Dum-Dum lollipops as a prize for taking a bath. Make sure Nathan is watching. Show bag of lollys, then empty contents into kettle. (Some recipes call for preparing a trail of lollys leading to the boiling kettle, in case Nathan is hesitant.)
Cook slowly, covered, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!!
Serves 12 normal sized people or 1 John Goodman.
