what a waste of money, Member napiergirl

I was really looking forward to eating this delicious sounding recipe. Unfortunately, having never cooked with dried beans before - I followed the recipe exactly! So my beans never cooked until soft, even after 15 hours! So I looked up online to find out why this may have happened. According to 'Vegan Basics: How to cook dried beans' You do not add the salt until after the beans are beautifully tender. Very disappointed. Might be a while before I can make this recipe again. For now, I have to go pick dried, hard beans out of my sauce - so I can add some manky canned beans, so as to not waste the bacon etc...
