Did anyone notice I was gone all weekend? We had a great weekend right on the lake with some dear friends, but no Internet, no phone, no T. V. So by last night when we got home we were feeling pretty out of touch.
I harvested the end of the end from my garden (except for the peanuts) and will spend today blanching and freezing okra and making jalapeno pepper jelly. I need something easy (read that as crock pot) for supper.
Because I brought some country ham home from the lake I will be making pinto beans and corn bread.
Either soak the beans over night or follow the quick soak method on the package (or use canned beans but then you can't do the crock pot because they will over cook to mush). Rinse well and put in the crock pot with 2 cans of chicken broth, 1` clove of garlic, minced, a couple slices of onions, peeled and cubed potatoes and carrots. Lay a couple slices of country ham on top. When it is all done, you can lift the ham out, shred the meat and return it to the beans. Add enough water to cover the beans by several inches, you don't want them to soak it all up and need more while you are gone. Cover and cook on high for 6-8 hours or low for 10-12.
Make a pan of cornbread to go with this and YUM!
