Hard kidney beans in chili

Yep. My first clue was they all had little canes and walkers.

This has never happened to me before, and I've made a lot of chili. Will pay close attention to the Use By date, they actually mean it!

That made me laugh!

I've cooked beans for AGES, from dry, only from dry. I ran into hard beans once in 40 years. It happened when I was young impressionable and it was easy for me to believe I was a bad cook at that point. I buy them anywhere and anytime and I often store them for 4-5 years at a time. You'll probably never see that happen again. But now, I'll look for beans with walkers and little canes.
