You ever go to the store, pick up a package of bacon and only find out when you get home that you actually grabbed two packages by mistake? Well, that happened to me yesterday. I was going to make some ham and beans for supper today, so I got some great northern beans, let them soak overnight, chopped up an onion into it, dumped a package for precut carrots into it, added a ham hock and both packages of bacon since I don't regularly eat bacon, or at least I never bought anything else to go with a second package. It's smelling really good right now but the pot is filled right to the top, so if the beans expand any more, I'm going to have a mess on my hands.
