8-bean salad
Monday, August 14, 20068-bean salad
1 can* butter beans
1 can light red kidney beans
1 chick peas or garbanzo beans
1 can black beans
1 can lima beans
1 can Italian green beans
1 can wax beans
1 can green beans
*Cans should be the 15- or 16-oz size.
Wash and rinse each can of beans in a bowl of water. Dump each can into a colander and drain. Put beans under faucet and rinse again, while in colander. Drain again, until all of the water is off, or about 2 hours.
While beans are draining, make the liquid.
To make liquid:
4 cups sugar
3 cups water
2 cups white vinegar
2 medium to large onions, diced
1 level teaspoon white pepper, or less
On the stove top, in a deep pan, add sugar, water, and vinegar; simmer for 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from stove. After the liquid has cooled, add onions and white pepper. Stir. Put liquid, onions and pepper mixture in a large crock or bowl. Dump beans in and let them sit to season for several hours. Put in jars and tighten lids. (Note: Turner said this recipe does not need a hot water bath.) Refrigerate. Yield: 8 - 9 pints.
— Vernice Turner, of Oxford
Have fun
An Excuse to Celebrate
Mad Hatter Day
Mad Hatter Day is a day to do and say things that are usually considered absurd, but actually are very logical; and to avoid things that are considered normal, but are actually quite ludicrous. Kinda confusing, so today it should make perfect sense. Celebrate this mad holiday by doing…pretty much whatever you want. Things to do »

Get in the Halloween spirit with a ghost hunt or a haunted house tour [things to do]
Perhaps you've heard stories from Room No. 4 at the Hammel House in downtown Waynesville — the site of a gruesome 19th-century murder. Or maybe you've heard tales from the Friends (Quaker) Meeting House. A candlelight flickers in the window, perhaps signaling long-dead conductors on the Underground Railroad. With more than 30 haunted houses, Chris Woodyard of Beavercreek, author of the "Haunted Ohio" book series, says Waynesville is easily the "most haunted town in Ohio." Call and schedule a haunted tour, and maybe you'll spot some ghosts. More »
