Oh, careful with that. Peppermints can actually make some horses choke, the oil is too strong for them. A plain old sugar cube or a carrot works way better as a bribe.

Wow, that's wild. It's like how they keep finding "safe" levels for stuff are way too high. Makes you wonder what else we're breathing in, right?

Actually, the minerals in hard water can slow beans down, but they don't usually stop them completely if you cook them long enough. The real culprit is often old beans. If those dried beans have been sitting in your pantry or on the store shelf for years, they might just never get soft no matter what you do. Fresh dried beans from a store with good turnover are way more likely to work. It's a frustrating thing to figure out after you've already cooked them.

A full bag of trash, seriously? That's a new one.
