Being a gourmet, you’d probably scoff at anything I drink!

***
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.

After SC you will know who the nominee will be. Absent an alien abduction it will likely be Trump.
Bought an 7# butt end ham After CHRISTMAS With the five dollar off coupon the entire thing cost under $1.60.
Think I’ll use some of it and make soup similar to yours
MMMmmmmm!
Perfect for a night like this!
Thanks for the recipe!
How’s the back tonight?
Better. I’m down to one pill in the evening, and I use the heating pad to loosen me up when I get out of bed in the morning. It’s a slow process, but I’m getting there.
Well..
I drink what I can afford..
I like Beringer.
LOVE Loius Jardot Beaujolais
Yellow tail-enjoy their Shiraz, too.
Things in that price range.
Not really what i meant when I put “fine” cabernet on my profile.
I meant it makes me FEEL fine!
LOL
(I hope you don’t laugh too hard at my selections)
Jardot runs a tight ship. In 1980, I had a 14 year old Jadot Pommard that was to die for.
*sigh*
I bet it was divine!
You guys are making me crave some wine, maybe some Brie..
Mmmmmm...
Nikki Haley is supposed to be giving the GOPe rebuttal to 0’s BS, er, speech.
