*HUG*
I DO have some frozen ham hock and bean soup!
LOL
You know me too well!
I am VERY thankful not to have to go out in that mess!
I think I posted that recipe from my late mother's collection some time ago. I made it under her watchful eye when I was in New Jersey during the aftermath of my father's death in 1997. Her hands were too twisted from rheumatoid arthritis to cook anymore, so I followed her instructions as she observed me.
That stuff was so good I finished it before I took the train back to Seattle.
