    Hi,

    The Supreme Bean Pie was very smooth with a nice texture on the upper layer and creamy underneath. It was far smoother than mine that might be attributed to not processing long enough in the blender.

    I made a bean pie for a talk in February, it was not as golden colored as SupremeBean, if anything mine looked pasty. One taster demanded to know what it was before eating, which took some of the fun away. Once they knew it was bean, people taste it more guardedly. If they tasted it with abandon guessing it was pumpkin or some other squash and later learn it is bean, then they might have been more delighted.

    The heaviest bean pie was made of bean flour. When I make recipes that go into new areas, I typically make them exactly to the recipe's directions. I made it over a year ago, but I recall nobody was racing to finish it.

    Regards,
    Cathy2
