  Place beans in a dutch oven with water. Bring to a
  boil; simmer 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover
  and let stand for one hour. Drain and rinse beans.
  
  Return to Dutch oven with broth, garlic and bay
  leaves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer
  for 1 1/4 hours. Stir in all remaining ingredients.
  
  Cover and simmer for one hour or until beans and
  vegetables are tender and gravy is thick. Remove bay
  leaves. Serve over rice.
  
  This meal costs only $.68 per plate.
  
  NOTE: I cannot find when this recipe appeared in T.O.H.
  But I cannot make it (in 2004) for 68c/serving. Even if
  I leave out the sausage. -- UDD
