*we have no pots and pans crockpot bean soup
-2 small handfuls each of dry red kidney beans, white navy beans, green lentils, and pinto beans
-soak beans overnight in $.99 water pitcher changing sulfur smelling tap water twice
-to $8 crockpot add approximately 1/4 c dried diced onions and 1 T garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt.
-pour beans and enough water that crock pot overflows onto countertop
-turn dial to high until soup is hot. turn to low and cook forever and then some.
-consume soup from 3/$1 blue plastic bowls sith 2/$1 stainless spoons with stale broken road weary crackers.
-go to sleep on squishy air mattress because it's now 2 am and you have nothing to do tomorrow either cause your stuff is still in a moving truck somewhere :)
(all ingredients and utensils procured at big lots, walmart, or dollar store cause why buy nice new if you actually have kitchen stuff but its currently a.w.o.l.)
