How about a seive?  Has anyone tried a seive?  I have a great big one that 
stands on sturdy legs and would handle quite a load at once.

Well, as I said before, when I made this dish for Trial by Fire and it was 
made again for a feast, somehow I (we) just missed this mashing bit and left 
the beans intact.  The dish is very good that way as well.
