  • When we heat up grandfathers (river rocks) for sweat lodge we put them in the middle of a huge wood pile about 5 ft in diameter and 4 ft high filled tightly with douglas firs and fed air every so often with a leaf blower. That fire is probably the hottest thing i have ever experienced in my life, especially since you have to dig into the still raging fire to dig out the grandfathers to put in the sweat lodge. My arm hair is patchy now going up to my mid forearm because so much of my hair has been singed off.




  • I’m an avid bean eater, sometimes i have them as a part of every single meal of the day. I recommend building your week around a certain bean you plan on making for the week.

    For example i’ll make a big pot of beans, for black and pinto I do: half an onion diced, which I fry for just a little bit then i my spices which are usually smoke paprika, pepper, salt, cumin and bay leaves. sauté that for about a minute then add your beans and water with enough water to cover the beans to your second knuckle. I add 2-3 whole cloves of garlic and I cut my other half of the onion in half(so quartered) and add that as well. I bring this to the boil and then simmer for a couple of hours, just keep tasting and stop them when they have the texture you like, beans tend to not change in texture to much after you turn the heat off so no need to pull them out sooner.

    Now that you have your beans for the week you just have to find recipes to add the beans to. It’s not a bad idea to look at the chipotle menu for ideas of how you can switch up serving the beans. Let me know if you want any more specifics or ideas for things to do with other beans. I love red beans and rice for example, and beans and rice is a great combo for any meal.
