A MIRACLE WORKED WITH
A POT OF BEANS

You wouldn't think you could dc
much with a pot of beans, would
you? Well, the other night | gave
Jim dish which is now on our reg.
uiar menu. 1t was beans with to-
mato sauce, to be sure, but with
that l mixed bananas baked slowly
in maple syrup until they were soft
and then l just gave it a dash of Al
Sauce. Boston wouldn't have rec.
ognized those beans. Jim says he
will recognize them if he meets
them again, and he hopes it will be
often. AL Sauce is not a Worces.
tershire, you know, it is just q
miracle-working flavor that trans.
forms left-overs and turns beans
