Slowly pour the beans into the slow cooker, examining each bean carefully. If you find any rocks or unusually hard beans, remove them and throw them away. Otherwise, they may hurt your teeth while you're eating. When in doubt, throw the bean away. For example, if you're not sure if a bean is too old to eat or not, play it safe and discard it. For every cup (200 grams) of beans, you will need about three cups (.7 liters) of liquid. You can use fresh water, vegetable broth, or meat broth. However, make sure not to overfill the slow cooker. Most slow cookers have a "fill" line on the inside. Otherwise, only fill the slow cooker halfway full. Sprinkle in seasonings such as onion, garlic, or bay leaves. However, wait to add the salt until the beans are cooked to avoid tough beans. Other delicious seasonings include: Butter Curry powder Shallots Ginger Place the lid on your slow cooker and turn it on. You can use the "low" setting to cook the beans for 6.5 hours, creating a creamy, soup-like texture. Alternatively, cook the beans on "high" for 3 hours to create a thinner bean dish. After one hour, sample the beans periodically to check for doneness. The beans will be done when they're soft and flavorful. Salt and pepper the cooked beans to taste. After seasoning, serve the beans immediately. You can add extra cooking liquid to create a vegetable soup, on a bed of rice, or by themselves as a healthy side dish. Leftover beans can be kept in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Summary: Sort the beans into the slow cooker. Add cooking liquid. Add seasonings to the slow cooker. Cook the beans. Season and serve.

Wherever you area game, practice, club meeting, local coffee shop, classchances are there is a person near you who you have yet to meet. Open up a conversation about what is going on around you. After class, ask the person next to you, "What did you think of that lesson/test/discussion?" In Spanish club, ask another person for a recommendation on the best tapas restaurant in your area. Or ask if they know a place you can go together to practice speaking Spanish with native speakers. At a concert, ask your neighbor, "Have you seen this band before?" or ask for recommendations of similar groups they listen to that you might also like. During practice for team sports or activities, ask a new acquaintance for tips on performing better. People like to be around others that look content, and smiling shows that you are interested in the conversation and in knowing that person better. Smile with your whole face, not just your lips. Practice in a mirror if you aren't a naturally smiley person to make sure you can tell you are smiling just by looking at your eyes. Be genuine when you smile, not fake. It helps to be comfortable in your surroundings, which is why it is important to only seek out activities and groups you have a genuine interest in. Ask the person you want to befriend questions about themselves, instead of dominating the conversation. Show you are really interested in getting to know them better and they will most likely want to keep talking to you. Aim to listen to them at least three times as much as you speak. But don't neglect to answer questions they ask you, too! When it's your turn to speak, offer insight into your personality or interests to give them a glimpse of who you are as a person. If you are on a sports team, maybe they would like to go to a professional game with you. After a concert, ask your friend-to-be to attend the next one you plan to go to. Invite your fellow Spanish speaking friend to that tapas restaurant they recommended. If they say no, don't give up, but also avoid pushing a "friend-date." Wait until the next time you speak to invite them to a different outing. Not everyone will want to hang out outside of the group you both attend. That's ok! There are other people there too, so try a different person next time.

Summary: Start a conversation with the person next to you. Smile often. Listen more than you speak. Invite them to an event or outing based on your common interests.
