HI Bob Judging from your musical beans comments 6/7, I'd deduce youve never heard of "cooking the farts out of them". Its a texas thing - when you break down the fiber by slow cooking at least 4 hours, they dont make gas.
Thought you might benefit from hearing that. 🙂 Beans dont have to make noise, and so good for you. 🙂 I must say tho, your news post is very very personal and perhaps a letter best not sent, but filed instead.
