Prime rib is gone. Oldest daughter and family had ham for Christmas and wanted to know if her mom and I wanted the hambone. Had at least a pound of Meat left on it. The wife has had the ham and beans on since last night. She just put the cornbread in the oven in the cast iron skillet. I am hungry! Doesn’t get much better!
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right. - Del Gue
Daughter cooked one of those spiral hams last Wednesday. Gave me a good hunk of it. Cooked the wife and I ham and duck eggs for breakfast! With mustang grape jelly granddaughter made this summer.
I had leftover beans and sowbelly today at lunch. Man I’m fartin’ like a roan hack horse!!!

Sounds great . When I was a kid we had soup beans(pintos) , fried potatoes and corn bread.usualy chunk of raw onion too. Weekly. Never knew about ham and beans until I was in my 20’s
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
In fact I need to make a batch without the bone, gave that to the MIL Xmas day.
Thinking of soaking beans tomorrow using quick soak method with hot water, any good recepies yall care to share?
I am thinking pinto's, chunks of ham, saute a onion, but I don't have any idea's what else to combine vs googling a bean recepie. Maybe brown sugar and some spices?
I used to think I didn’t like “ham and beans”. Mom made them as a kid. Hambone thrown in the beans that most dogs would turn their nose up at due to the lack of ham. Later in life had some actual ham and beans that had a significant portion of ham in it. That was the ticket. More ham. And a shot of vinegar for good measure.
If making for myself I’ll use the Charro bean recipe from Mi Tierra in San Antonio as my start. Either with the bacon only, or substitute in a lot of ham if that’s what I’ve got.
You made Barry sleep in the wash house and Birdy slept in the back yard. Roger woke at 12 after near dying from gassing.
Yup!

As we are not eating much in the way of beans these days my youngest son, home for the holidays, hauled off a couple of pounds of hocks that were in the freezer.

Okay, Bob....that’s a little more information than we really need...
On the other hand, be have a blizzard and/or ice storm scheduled for tomorrow night thru most of Wednesday. So, I’ve already told my dear little wife I’m fixin’ my infamous shredded beef and fried beans with fresh corn tortillas. If’n the furnace pilot light kicks in at the wrong time- half the neighborhood could be doomed.
