Why Pinto Beans with 2 time James Beard award winning food writer Ronni Lundy

Today we are setting the table with 2 Christmas recipes and stories about soup beans. The happily retired former food writer for the Knoxville News Sentinel Mary “Dee Dee” Constantine will share a recipe for warm mulled cider. In Fred Sauceman’s Pot luck radio segment, he shares a story about a festive red and green pear salad. Ronni Lundy sheds light on the question “Why do we all eat pinto beans”? And seed saver John Coykendall shares a cute little story about a young man who was tired of eating beans.
