White beans baw

I use ham bones often
Not fond of honey ham ones especially in beans

If I may hijack for just a moment, I've got a pot of red beans going and was thinking of finishing them off the last 60-90 minutes on my smoker. Any of you baws do this regularly, or ever tried it? Bad idea?

Beans or greens

I made split pea soup with one...it was outstanding.

MIL used to make creamed corn after the majority of the ham was eaten. Lot of gristly meat left, but a few good bits.

Made a stock, had the family shucking corn and with the dull side of a knife "milking" the cobs. I used to pick corn from a family/church members farm. 2 hours max, sweetest white corn ever.

I miss her. That woman lived to cook.

I may have told this story before.

After her second diagnosis with cancer, she asked if she could live with us. Where she lived previously, they didn't have the Food Channel.

We laughed about the gossipy subjects brought up shelling peas. We laughed about the time I thought a hogshead was something like a premium cured ham.

She died at our house.

I miss her to this day.

Potato soup. I usually get my food grade hacksaw out and cut the bone in two. Half is plenty to flavor a potato soup and I can freeze the other half for another soup.
