I'm reading this book called Wildly Affordable Organic, and I'm trying a recipe for spicy black-eyed peas right now.  I'm afraid our crock pot is way slower than others and it will take forever.  I think our "high" isn't very high.  But I'll tell you how it turns out.

Public service announcement: undercooked red kidney beans can make you sick.  So they say to soak them, throw out the soaking water, and make sure they come to a boil for ten minutes before simmering them to done.  I didn't know any of this and made some kali dal months ago, and I didn't soak them separately or do any of that, and we were fine, but next time I'll be careful.
