I recently decided to start making chili from dried beans (instead of store-
bought canned beans).  I soaked the beans overnight (3:1   water:beans).
In the morning the beans looked fine.  If I'd followed directions, I would
have then simmered the beans (+ liquid) for 2 hours.  I decided that I
would combine the simmering time with the chili cooking time.  3-4 hours
later the beans were still hard.  Did I do something wrong?
