2014 Men's World Team Finals: When Difficulty Edges Out Execution

After seeing an Instagram photo from my friend Domenica of her cannelloni beans soaking, I was inspired to do the same as an accompaniment to the pork.   I've had friends say that they made dried beans that ended up too hard, probably from not cooking long enough. That's happened to me too and the way I prepare them now to avoid that is this way:  Wash the beans and drain them, then put into a...
