Cover the beans with 3 cups cold water and let stand overnight. Combine the beans and bean liquid, carrots, celery, and onion in large pot. Add the beef bouillon cubes along with 3 cups water. Bring the mixture to a boil (on your conventional stove if you want to save time), and simmer covered (on woodstove), for two hours or until beans are tender. Remember to build up fire periodically to keep soup at the simmering point. Add the pasta and simmer 10 more minutes. Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Makes 6 servings.
Chapatis
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
Combine the flour, salt, and oil; mix well. Gradually add 1/2 to 1 cup water until dough is smooth, but not sticky. Knead 10 minutes. Divide into 12 egg-sized pieces. Roll out very thin on floured surface. Cook on slightly oiled fry pan until dry. Turn and cook other side. On conventional stove, bubbles will form on the chapatis. On the wood burner, they cook more slowly, resulting in a crisp, cracker—like bread. The longer they are left on the stove, the crisper they get.
Apple Crunch
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup sugar
4 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
Melt the butter in fry pan on stove. Add oatmeal, brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon. Cook 1 minute. Remove from pan and set aside. Pour 1 cup hot water into pan. Add sugar and stir well. Add apples and cook-covered-until tender (approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending upon the heat of the stove). Drain. Put apples in individual serving dishes and top with crunch. This can be served over ice cream or topped with whipped cream. For a quicker dessert, use canned apples or applesauce. Makes 6 servings.
