The Graduation Beans




Source of Recipe


Barb Schaller


Recipe Introduction


The story of the beans: Mary served these beans at Debbie Nutter’s graduation party. Note that the Nutters and the Brletiches (Schaller neighbors) have 11 children between them, of approximately the same ages. For about the next 7 years, one or both of those families served the beans at the respective graduation parties. After the second serving, Rob Schaller dubbed them The Graduation Beans and looked for them at all the parties -- and they were there.
