katrina – I’ve tried Rancho Gordo’s christmas lima beans (which were delicious and almost 2 inches wide when cooked), but haven’t tried their pinto beans… next time I’m at the Ferry Building farmer’s market I’ll have to pick some up. Thanks for the tip!

Have you tried Rancho Gordo’s pinto beans? I’ve always loved pinto beans and didn’t expect anything different from his but picked some up on a whim. I was surprised at how good they were.

I’m loving your recipes. Thank you.

Hi Melissa! Thanks for commenting. Hopefully it won’t be too long before I’m out on the trail as opposed to behind my desk!

I ended up in a tent in Alaska because I decided to work on an archaeological dig for a summer (I thought I wanted to be an archaeologist at the time). Half adventure, half learning experience, it was certainly a memorable summer. I love the long (sometimes unending) daylight that comes along with camping far north during the summer — a couple years after the Alaska trip I did a solo hiking/bus tour trip through Iceland — simply amazing!

I love beans and rice and make my own version of trail food from different bean and rice sources. And I absolutely LOVE beets, so your blog is a new favorite of mine.

I’m most interested in why you were in Alaska living in a tent? I’m on a backpacking journey of my own right now (just taking a resupply break) and will be out on the trail again tomorrow; with dehydrated beans and brown rice!

Your sweet and spicy baked beans look wonderful.
