AGTSP!!!    paoho...  We can't find the collection of recipes right away that Nama' Das sent??!   It must be somewhere, but we hope he still has it and can continue to edit this book.

Here is Page One to BACHELOR BEANS - Recipes for Real Men:

========================= =  =>

SOAK SOME SPLIT PEAS over-night and then boil them lightly in the morning while you chant one round of Rosary. Then add about the same amount of rolled oats (little salt and butter) and continue the light boiling for another round.

Transfer the whole Peas Porridge to your pot and settle down in front of your plate with your hands folded and your head bent and mumble a few heartfelt prayers to the good Lord who gave you life, and the father and mother who reared you. If you stay a real bachelor like that your whole life you will never have any problem which is not both an immediate opportunity, and a doorway to eternity for you and all.
