I made ham and bean soup today, it's still cooking away in the crock pot. You may not think this is significant, but it is! I don't like beans. I found this recipe online, and it looked good, despite the beans. I even TASTED the broth to see how it was...I lived!
The "plan" is to have PH try it, if it likes it great, we'll have it tomorrow. If not, I'll can it and it will become part of my emergency food, " if you are starving, you'll eat it" pantry. It smells good, and the taste...needed more salt it was kind of BLAH.
PH is finished with barn construction, but has been welding a couple of hay racks for the horses out of scrap pipe. Pretty cool! I had mentioned to him I wanted to buy some from the local feed store, but FREE is always better.
What have you done to prepare this week?
I've decluttered and gone through items to make room for more storage.
Inventoried the freezer
Talked to my FIL about hog butchering (he's a wealth of knowledge)
Started preparations to make deer jerky for the first time
More later, coyotes are prowling gotta go....
I love beans and ham hock. I use great northern beans or navy beans with pork. Usually a kidney or red bean with beef.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't get right with beans you will have to turn in your southern girl ID card! LOL and we will mock you unmercifully, unless you can make biscuits. If you make good biscuits and gravy everything else is a wash.
I can make biscuits and gravy
ReplyDeleteOh darn I'm caught again. Why the heck can every one make good biscuits and gravey and I huddle with the great unwashed and not make biscuits and gravy. Okay my biscuit have gotten better and my gravy is not completly vile or inedible. Which is the best I can say for both. LOL
