Cold cold cold here today, in the 30's.
I have a small bunch (3) of Leeks I need to use up, so will remove the dry sheaths, slice and sautee' them in some grapeseed oil until they are soft, and add a couple of cloves of pressed garlic and some grated ginger root.
I have two large slices of ham thawing and will chop that up and add it to the pan to brown a bit when the leeks get soft. Am debating adding some white and yellow onion as well?
2nd Ave. Deli RIPDo any of your New Yorkers know what the real story is behind the closing of the 2nd Ave. Deli last month? I just saw a posting on another newsgroup that said it closed. Sure...
Once that is in good shape, I have a can of low salt chopped tomatoes and two cans of "Eden" black soy beans to add.
I have dry black soybeans as well but don't want to wait for a soak.
First trip to Aldi's 6471Posting from Germany, Aldi's home market: Aldi is by far the worst employer among the low-cost supermarkets. A couple years ago Walmart bought a chain...
Should make a decent ham and bean soup, perfect for the ugly weather. ;-)
Corn bread might go well with this.
I bought a butt portion of ham last week and if I get it during the day when the cutters are there, I can have it sliced up for me! Handy that. No increase in price and it makes it easier to use. I only cook for 2 people so it's nice to be able to freeze a whole ham in portions. -- Peace, Om.
