Directions

Place beans in saucepan and cover with water, bring to a boil. Cook uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, drain and set aside.

In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towel. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings.

In the same skillet, saute onion in drippings until tender.

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch, mustard and water until smooth. Stir in cooked onions. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.


Whenever you visit my grave,

say to yourselves with regret

but also with happiness in your hearts

at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:


"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."


No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,

and not all the power of death

can keep my spirit

from wagging a grateful tail.
