Old-fashioned baked beans still savored
FRANKLIN A bag of beans is something of a marvel. What else costs so little but can raise so much money at community suppers? 
That is, of course, if Franklin’s Dick Gardner, aka the Bean Man, has transformed the small legumes into his rich, slightly sweet, baked beans. 
As his contribution to the local fire department and other groups, Dick Gardner (left) regularly cooks up great quantities of his delectable baked beans for fund-raisers. In his secret recipe, he uses both Marafax and Megquier’s yellow-eye beans. Dried not wet mustard is a must. ELLSWORTH AMERICAN PHOTO BY JENNIFER OSBORN ....
