Okay. that's more what I think of as a bone-in ham than a ham bone.
Bv)=
That's what it was. Some meat was taken off for Thanksgiving dinner and afters bit was sent home with us with a good bit of meat still on it.
Today we cooked down the turkey carcass. Got a jam packed quart box of meat, 3 not quite (to allow head room) quart boxes of stock in the
freezer and 3.5 quarts of stock to go into the fridge. Of all that,
about half the meat plus 1.5 fridge quarts will go into turkey soup
later this week, remainder of turkey plus some will go into turkey casserole. Remainder of the fridge stock and frozen will be used in various meals thru-out the winter.
Waste not, want not.
I was brought up on turkey soup for the post holiday bird, kept doing
it for my family. For just the 2 of us I still do it, and it lasts
longer. (G) I think Rachel (older daughter) does it now.
I sometimes buy ham bones from Humphrey's market as doggie treats.
I'll use them first to make a pot of this. There isn't a lot of meat
on each bone - but across three there is enough to spiff-up the soup.

Title: Easy Slow-Cooker Ham Bone Soup
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Beans, Poutry
Yield: 6 servings
We've no dogs but do use ham bones, as well as turkey or chicken bones quite often during the year in our cooking. For poultry I season the
water for the stock with a bit of salt and some Bragg's Seasoning--a veggie blend. When it gets made into soup, I'll add some turmeric, a
bit more salt and some pepper.
Soup is one of my favourite things to use up leftovers (or
plan-overs).
We've had quite the chilly spell since Thaksgiving, good for soups and suchlike. Supposed to get into the mid 60s next week but then cool down again. I think we'll be eating a lot of soup and such like this winter.

Never tried Bragg's. But I often use Bell's with my poultry dishes.
For soup I'm more of an individual herbs and spices sort of cook. I've begun using miso paste in my chicken soups recently - thannk you

Our temperatures finally got "seasonal" for the first time this year.
We had one morning almost into the single digits - 11ºF. Before I
left on my rounds I nipped out to car and started it. Then back into
the house to get the rest of my "leaving prep" done. Supposed to be in
the 40s and 50s next week. No White Xmas here I don't think. And
that's all right with me.

It's one of those things that can get carried down for generations,
each one adding a twist to it. I season my version different from how
my mom did and will use noodles or brown rice (sometimes the Lundberg
rice blend) instead of the white rice my mom always used. Still have
the same caveat she did--"watch out for bones" since I'm not always
sure I got some of the smaller ones pulled out.

My mom gave me a recipe for this when I first got married, don't recall her ever making it. Her recipe wasn't this fancy, rather bland, but
that's the way she cooked.
We went to the annual VFW Christmas dinner last night, held at and
catered by the local cafeteria. This year they added chicken cordon
bleu to the buffet; I got one of the last pieces. Good but could have
been held at a much warmer temperature. They also had the usual (really tender) roast beef, fried chicken, scalloped potatoes, green beans and rolls, plus 3 kinds of pie to choose from so I got chocolate/meringe. Steve got a piece of fried chicken; the cordon blue outer coating
looked like corn meal so rather than take a chance............he also
got lemon meringe pie. Brought home some roast beef and a couple of
pieces of fried chicken so have the basis for a couple of suppers. A
good time was had by all.
Nope! I use frozen peas/carrots and green beans in the soup, picked
them up the other day at Wegman's. Can't use the mixed veggies since
they contain corn.
I just checked my freezer since I stock several different types of veg
for various uses. No corn in any of them except the Steam-In-Bag store brand corn niblets. I have peas & carrots, a broccoli/cauliflower mix,
a "California Mix" and a "Winter Mix". Probably some others buried in
the back.

The only turkey parts I have trouble with are the leg quarters. The tendons can escape detection before going into the pot. They're not
as hard as a bone but they'll still give you a "surprise".

Most brands of frozen veggies have a mix of carrots, peas, beans and
corn, sold as mixed vegetables. Not the greatest as is but good for

I'm at the stage of my life where convenience is a big factor in my shopping. 'Taters, maters, bell peppers and onions/garlic I get from
the produce bins at Humphrey's or Hy-Vee. Seasonal veg I buy from my
local truck farmers (Suttill's Gardens). They have good stuff &
parking. The farmer's market is jumbled and nearby parking is
virtually nil. At my age distance walked is a big factor.
I'm doing a lot more convenience cooking than I used to--haven't made bread in probably a year. The local farmer's market isn't that far away and it is small enough that it doesn't take too much time/effort to
walk thru it. Some vendors do have a line, but they're ones that have
been with the market since the beginning in 2008. One of them, a baker, will be retiring at the end of this month but the produce farmer I get
a lot from is still going strong. Parking can be a problem but if you
wait long enough, someone parked nearby will pull out.

I use the Organic Sprinkle, 24 herbs and spices, salt free (Paul C. Bragg's original 1930 blend). Yellow top, yellow label. I might pick up
a different one to try next time we go down to Sprouts, just to try,

I'll pass. All my service records went up in smoke when Jefferson

Dunno. But. I have it in my database. It's a pretty standard Verde
that used ground poultry instead of the ore usual pork - which ain't
no way "Kosher" and the event is at a Jewsh facility.
So make up a batch, bring it and label it "in memory of Les".
Won't have to. Les' kid brother Larry will be in town taking care of
some things for the estate. And he'll be making the Verde. And he is
the ICS World Champion this year in Verde.
I had something very much like this in my first experience with chile verde. I was in Inglewood, Californa at a Mexican sit-down restaurant.
My mind told me that rojo meant red and indicated "hot". While verde
was green and should be mild. Hoooo Boy! was I wrong!!!! Lit me up.
I'm not a fan of vinegar based slad dressing. Much prefer my salads
and/or cole slaw with a creamy sauce as a dressing.
I prefer 1,000 Islands but Steve's mom has always done a home made Italian-ish--just oil, vinegar and seasonings. I've done it myself
quite a bit because it is Steve's favorite. Just pour everything on the salad (guess-timate amounts) and mix.
Thousand is OK on a Big Mac. Or w/shaved Gorgonzola cheese. But I like
a nice creamy ranch, buttermilk, blue cheese, or even Russian
(California) dressing. Especially w/bacn bits.
of Tammy Duckworth when we were in HI; she had some connection to the state and used the first name Lada. Don't remember details tho.
Which isn't too surprising considering that not many senators are
ladies and few of those of child-baring years.
Time was, the government had no ladies in it. Glad that has changed but I'm not a fan of a number of women now serving.
Nancy who?

I had something very much like this in my first experience with chile verde. I was in Inglewood, Californa at a Mexican sit-down restaurant.
My mind told me that rojo meant red and indicated "hot". While verde
was green and should be mild. Hoooo Boy! was I wrong!!!! Lit me up.
Steve and I went to a little place in Las Cruces,NM, once on our way
back to AZ from a trip to El Paso. I ordered something green, thinking
it would be mild; Steve ordered something red, thinking it to be on the warm side. Somebody mixed up the heat level--mine was hot but Steve's
was mild. They were both good tho. (G)
I got a pretty good culinary education when I moved to Californica.
Found the El Mexico cafe where I was one of the few Gringos. And The
House of Yee (Cantonese Chinese) where, apparently no one in the
kitchen spoke American) I started at the top of the menu and worked my
way down. Noting 'repeaters" as I went. The J.B.'s Little Bali where I
was introduced to the 50+ course Rijsttafel - more a Dutch thing. Each "course" was 2 tb or less of a different flavour/dish. And rice. Lots
and lots of rice.

I'll go for Russian but do not care for the strong bleu cheese type dressing. I'll eat ranch if nothing else is available or alternatives
are worse, same with french. Bacon inproves almost everything but it
won't help bleu cheese, IMO.

One of our favorite places in Savannah was a small Mexican place where most of its patronage were non English speakers of the blue collar

I, on the other hoof, really like the blue veined cheeses and their
acrid bite. I'll do ranch if there is plenty of fresh ground pepper to "wake it up". Otherwise it's pretty bland.
So many to choose from. One place in western NY had a peppercorn ranch
as their house specialty. It was ok for one salad but I'd want more variety if I were eating there regularly. We were there for my in laws 50th wedding anniversary celebration 25 years ago this time frame.

I used to stop in Lost Crutches when I was trucking. Get off of I-40
at Amarillo and set off diagonally on US 50 past White Sands to pick
up I-10 at Las Cruces. The Petro truck-em-up stop always had good
grub.
For a while we were commuting back and forth between Fort Huachuca
(where we lived) and Fort Bliss (hospital). I had wrist surgeries (with follow ups) in 1993 and 94; Steve had jaw surgery in 2000, with follow ups. For some of them we rode the bus that FH provided, other times we drove. Got to know that section of I-10 quite well, and have been back
on it since moving, most recently last fall. Army bus always stopped at the McD's in Lordsburg, NM for breakfast, once or twice supper. It was
an up and back in one day trip, leaving FH at 03:30, returning after
the last appointments were finished but usually getting back between
1800 and 2000. When we drove, we'd stay overnight in TX, then return.

I like a few Korean dishes. But on the most part I prefer one of the Chinese regional cuisines. Or the Thai non-incendiary stuff. Some heat
is alright. But lets not get stupid about it. Bv)=
I'll go for either Korean or Chinese. Got introduced to the former thru
a neighbor and the Army, picked up on Chinese just by trying it now and then over the years. I don't do the super hot Thai, also has to have no coconut or (if we're splitting a dish) cilantro. Limits the choices but we've had some good dishes over the years.

I like peppercorn ranch once in a while. But, like you, not a steady
diet, Part of picking a dressing is knowing what's in the salad and what's available to put on the salad. One place might have a bright red "French" dressing and another a dull orange "French" dressing. One of
Unless it's an occaision where everything is pre set. When Steve was in the Army, we attended a number of formal and informal events, dinner included. Tables were usually set with a bowl of ranch dressing and
some other (Italian-ish?); when it was time for the meal, salads were brought out. They were generally a tossed salad--heavy on the iceburg lettuce, 2 or 3 cherry tomatoes, a few pieces each of cucumber and julienned carrot. Nothing fancy; the entree was the feature of the meal unless it was June 11--the Army birthday. For that, a big cake was on display, then first cut was with a sword.
my parent's favourite dine-out places had a "Roquefort" dressing
that actually was a Thousand Island dressing base with shaved/
shredded blue veined Gorgonzola in liberal quantities on top.
Gorgonzola is one of the very few blue-vein cheeses which can
be shredded rather than crumbled.
My parents usually went for bleu cheese, and most often it was a low quality one. For years, Dad wasn't much of a salad eater but back in
1974 a medical issue hospitalised my youngest sister for several months about 75 miles away from home. Mom and Dad went to see her about every other day, usually having supper out. Dad ate enough salads (free, with the meal) to begin to enjoy them. After that, they appeared on our
dinner table on an irregular basis.

Never did a Mickey D's on the road. And darned seldom at home. Other
than their fries the rest of the menu can be bettered at any number of different fats food places. Even Burger Whop is better than MdC's.
(talk about damning w/faint praise Bv)=).
I had no choice on the trips arrainged by the FH hospital. The shuttle
was easier for us so Steve wouldn't have to take off from work. I think once or twice we both had appointments up at Beaumont (Fort Bliss hospital) so we both rode the shuttle.

I know you're not a fan of soap weed. I don't care for dishes

What's with the no coconut? Allergies or just dislike?
Same as peanut butter, just a dislike. Also dislike coffee, would
rather have a cuppa tea any day.

Those pre-set salads sound like the Dole pre-bagged salads down the market. Add your on tomatoes - which I do, as well as some sunflower kernels, or, if I have them (seldom) pine nuts, and maybe some cheese.
I have been known to take a tarted-up bagged salad, put it in a BIG
bowl and make that my supper.
We've bought them too, Sam's Club usually has a good assortment. Their sweet kale one got Steve to like (raw) brussels sprouts; he still
doesn't like cooked ones. My favorite one has greens, apple, Cheddar cheese, raisins and bacon bits with a cider vinegarette dressing--sort
of sweet/sour.

One of the things I like about the local truck-stop's restaurant is
that any non-breakfast meal you order comes with a chice of one of the soups of the day (they always have two except Sunday - when it's
Creamy Chicken Rice soup only) or you can take a "side salad" with lettuce, shredded carrot, some sliced or diced tomato and a couple
nice slices of cucumber. Even a burger & fries comes w/that choice.
Sounds good to me; I'll most likely take the salad, especially if htey have 1,000 Island dressing.

Most of the Thai places here (we have several) offer mild, medium, or
hot heat levels. If it's a new-to-me venue I start with the medium
heat then adjust up or down on future visits.
I'll start with the mild. The Korean place we went to last month listed their seafood "casserole" (more of a soup/stew) as mild, medium or hot, said their medium wasn't that hot. We ordered it for both of us,
medium, and the broth was too hot for me. Thee ban chan and rice helped cool my mouth down. (G)

When Magic Kitchen came to town it was the first Thai place here. They lady who ran the front of the house had been a missionary and she got married to a Thai chef. I ordered garlic-pepper pork and was going to
get it "hot" when she warned me that was "Thai Hot" nor "round-eye
hot". So i ordered medium and it was about at the top of my heat tolerance.
Some time later I was having lunch. Magic Kitchen having become one of
my regular stops. A cople of guys I know from the race track came in
to "try it out". They ordered their dishes hot even though she warned them.
I watched ot the corner of my eye as they sat at their table glaring
at one another. I could almost hear te "macho-mindset" thoughts ...

I ran across one of the guys later and asked (facetiously) how he

Pays to listen to the waitress. I got some Thai once in HI, started out nice and mild but got hotter the more I ate of it. Good, but didn't
want to roast my mouth. Steve finished it for me and admitted that it
was hot, even for him.

In this case, it's "small town provincial". If you've not travelled
over 50 miles from where you grew up, all your life experiences are
based on that small town point of view, nothing to compare it to. OTOH,
if you've done a lot of travel, you have a lot of different life experiences that influence your view point.

where the deals are. I do not buy groceries from (or anything else) WalMart DD> or Target. Target I give a miss because they've redesigned their local HUGE BOX store so that grocery shopping is *very* inconvenient.
Most often now we shop at Wegman's, for the convenience and quality. We will stop at Lidl sometimes; it's just up the road from Wegman's to
check out their "other than groceries" stuff, but don't buy a lot of
food there. We shopped Lowe's a lot when we first came to WF, then
Publix when they moved in, will stop in those 2 if we're out an need something & they're nearby. Same with Harris Teeter; Food Lion is
further out so we generally don't hit them up. Usually don't go to
Target, will get some groceries (but no meat or produce) at Wal Mart if we're there for other, non food, stuff.
