Recipe for Flesh Beans
Make pastry (use Robin Hood Pie dough, in sticks. Box makes 3
beans). Roll it thin. Mix in bowl: 1/4 lb. flank steak, 1 diced
potato, 1 small onion, diced 1/2 carrot, diced celery, diced
mushroom. Finish thinning out on rag or waxed paper. Wrap up
bean in rag. Tie with string. Bring to boil. Lower to medium
heat for 3 hours. Turn over at least once. Allow to cool,
serve, and eat.

Submitter comment: What I found odd is cooking all the items in a rag. Grace
said it's a wonderful meal; I'll take her word for it!
