I made these beans...and they are AWESOME!!
1. Have craving for weeks for some good ol beans-n-cornbread!
2. Go to commissary, look for salt pork, get a ham hock instead. Get rest of stuff...bag of beans and box of cornbread.
3. Finally get around to actually making them. Soak 2 bags, one of kidney and one of pinto beans after asking husband "should I do just one? or two?" He says two.
4. After soaking, they look so pretty. Swollen with the water and ready to go. 
I decided I wanted them for lunch Saturday, so didn't want to start the cooking until EARLY in the morning. So,
5. Get up at the crack of dawn and begin...
6. Gather from cabinets and refrigerator, black and red pepper, some chicken broth (I know, it's not from a chicken I brothed myself!) and some refrigerator garlic. and chop some onion.
7. Put it all in the crockpot.
8. Remember you forgot to take a picture of the ham hock, take one and then bury it back under the beans.

My first thought upon seeing the 4:14 picture was "Girl - you cray-seee! Ain't NO WAY I'd be waking up that early to make some stinky old beans!! But then I read your "Taste of home" comment, and I get it.
And ditto on the plane crash. Simply amazing, thank the Lord!
