    White Beans with PorkPin

    Though I've been complaining about the cold and rain this spring, I have to admit, sometimes I am kind of thrilled to still be able to wear my jackets and boots and cook my delicious and comforting Colombian food. These little things help me to enjoy this unexpected and nasty weather that we've been having this May.

    Beans are an important Colombian food and we have many recipes using all types of beans. Frijoles Blancos con Cerdo y Tocineta is one of those recipes. Enjoy it!

      It seems that this nasty weather is everywhere. It's been raining here every afternoon this past week with thunderstorms. The weather is hot though and humid. However, you dish sounds delicious and bookmarked for colder days.

      What kind of pork ribs? It looks like "country style" pork ribs in the picture but I wanted to be sure.
