I put 'black beans' on the grocery list for my BF to buy this evening and he came back with a bag of DRY black beans! I dont know if they are dried or raw or whatever..I dont know how to prepare these beans! it says that i have to let it sit in water for a minimum of 12 hours?!
Bless my BF's soul cuz he was saying that he couldnt find black beans anywhere in the grocery he went to so he actually walked to three different ones to get me the beans!

I wanted to try those yummy black bean cakes but I have no idea if these beans will work..

Help me please! :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was clueless about dried beans!

Just a tip, the place I find canned black beans is in the Mexican aisle of the grocery store. Just rinse them and they're ready to use!
