G'Day everyone, Dutch here! Welcome to my little place in the Universe!! Weekend coming up, gonna be a busy one so thought I would do a short blog to wish everyone a wonderful weekend....got another Don Wlliams song to browse with, I like the style of him and Tom T, kind of laid back and mellow, those two have been my favorites for years and this song I especially like...
Soooooooooooooo, put your troubles aside, pull up a chair and visit a spell......
got some little projects to do today to get ready for the weekend, gonna have ham & beans for supper.... on occasion I'll cook a ham on the grill, usually a smoked shank, and I'll cut off a piece of the shank end, around a pound or two slightly larger than a softball and save the hambone, bone, skin and all(freeze)for the beans....when I'm ready I get out this pot...
a 5 quart caste iron pot, it has only one purpose in life cook ham and beans.....you can't have good ham & beans cooked in anything else and you don't have to deal with the problem associated with ham & beans..gas .... first you preboil the beans ( we use 1 pound Great Northern) till the skins start floating, rinse well in cold water, add the hambone and a onion (about the size of a tennis ball), salt and pepper to taste and cook on a Low heat slowly most of the day.... I have a tripod for a fire pit and in the summertime I'll occasionally cook on an wood fire..... over time you can pull the hambone out of the pot, discarding the bone and any fat, just leaving the ham in the pot and let it cook till your ready...add too it some fried taters and homemade cornbread and ........Bon Apititie!!!!!
Well, like I said, will have a busy weekend gonna grille a turkey Sunday, so other than being in and out on occasion, won't do any blogging till next week...Gotta scoot and get this day started....Soooooooooooooooooooo everyone have a smiln' goooooooooooood day full of Peace Love and Happiness and I'll see you next time if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise...
