BEANS AND HAM HOCKS

2 cups dried beans
2 leeks, white part only
1 stalk celery, minced
1 carrot, minced
1/3 cup celery leaves, minced
6 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
1 lb smoked ham hocks
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/8 tsp mustard seed
1/3 cup dry sherry
1 tsp salt

In a large saucepan cover the beans, rinsed and picked over, with 6 cups of water and let stand overnight.

Add 4 cups of water, bring to a boil over moderate heat, and simmer the beans, covered, for 1-1/2 hours. Mash the beans with a potato masher if desired.

In a kettle, cook the leeks (well washed), celery, carrot, celery leaves in butter until the vegetables are softened. Add flour, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the beans, including the liquid, ham hocks, 2 cups of water, minced parsley and mustard seed. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, and simmer, covered, for 3-4 hours. Add water if necessary to keep the beans covered.

Transfer the hocks with a slotted spoon to a bowl, and remove the meat from the bones. Stir in the meat, sherry and salt, and heat moderately, stirring all the while, until it is all mixed in.

A note from Mom: You can freeze this one for the winter.

You Are Chicken Noodle Soup

You are a traditional and conservative person. You value the past, and change frightens you.

You are very loyal, especially to your family. You prefer a low-key life, with lots of time spent at home.

You like soup because it's easy, quick, and cheap. You tend to have a favorite soup you stick to. Why change a good thing? Very true!

[oldteen]

Very favorite is probably taco soup. YUM!

[Taxman]

Veggie soup is my favorite! The key is to start with a good steak cooked over charcoal! The rest is easy!

Hi Everybody!

Just got in from Pub Nite, and now I am going to bed.

[oldteen]

Well...I am assuming you are taller than say 5’7 so to my 5’2 you would be a big guy! Or, something. lol

[left that other site]

I came out as Chicken Noodle too.

But I am sort of a Chowdah person, actually.

[oldteen]

Hi and bye, ML.

Sleep well!

It was my first time singing in a couple of weeks due to a nasty cold I had.

I did OK though.

[luvie]

Mmmm....I’ll bet that wasn’t one of the choices, but it’s GREAT!

[PROCON]

LOL, I've shrunk over the past 10 years or so but still taller than you Hobbits. 😀😀

Getting ready to hit the hay for my early wake-up call.

[luvie]

Thank you! You’re good to me. LOL!

You’re very welcome. it’s been fun reading the results. Don’t you think?

[luvie]

I never thought of THAT!! I’ll have to try it. I usually just braise stew beef in oliveoil before dumping in all the other stuff I put in it.

[oldteen]

It takes time to get your voice going again. No worry...it’ll
be fine. :-)

[luvie]

*THUD*

That sounds amaaaaaazing!!!

[luvie]

I would think nothing less from a Bahstonian! :)

[Publius]

It’s what soups were like before World War II, before the libs got their hands on it.

[oldteen]

I believe I was up before you this am. But doubt it for tomorrow. Eeeek!

Sleep well!
