Ham Bone Beans

Fat Italian Beans with Golden potatoes and a Spiral Ham Bone that is Swimming in Onions.

Good Morning, All. I am posting from another very wet and grey sky day from North Florida, today. Now, I am thinking of the song that has the lyrics (I’ll sail away in it). For the life of me, I can’t remember who sings it. (Journey, comes to mind). Anyway, I am wishing you a good day and all the best.

This is my ham-bone bean recipe and it was good to the last bean.

The recipe is a spiral ham bone with some meat left on the bone.

It is well worth the cost (On sale, at Walmart) Still $24.00 though. I, cut off almost all of the spiraled ham and put in quart zip-lock baggies for the freezer for so many meals. Then I save the ham bone until I was ready to use it.

So, along with that ham bone, I used 2 15oz cans of fat Italian string beans.

1 1/2 onions sliced.

6-medium-large golden potatoes washed and peeled and diced.

1-tsp Accent 1-tsp Greek Seasoning 1-tsp coarse salt (work with your seasons) and do not get too salty as it will get stronger later and you could always add more. 1-tsp black pepper.

Boil the ham bone in a large pot filled with 8-cups of water for 1 hour, as it is already cooked, when you purchase it and then take it out of the pot and let cool, take all the meat off, and tear into strips. Put the meat back into the pot.

Open you two cans of fat Italian string beans (just my name for them) and put liquid and all into your soup pot.

Add in your Golden potatoes. (Diced)

Add in your sliced onions. Add in your seasonings and cook on med-high for 40 minutes. You are done, now.

Thank you for your visit today and do come back soon. Connie B.

August 2020 Remedies

An Old Remedy

Today will be a short post about an old remedy from the past.

Have you ever had a painful sty on your eyelid? When I was younger, I used to get one of those from time to time. A wise older granny, told me how to fix that problem and I have always used it since way back then.

If you have a gold ring and I,m sure that most of you do. This is how you do it! (Remember that song?) It just came to my mind. But anyway, back to the remedy now.

You just wear the ring and rub it across your jeans really fast. It does get hot. Just put the edge of that ring on the sty on your eyelid. You can do this once or you can do this twice. But this has always made the sty go away for me.

As usual, I am not a Dr. and I make no claims for this to heal you. But as for myself, you know that I believe in the old ways, if you have been visiting my website.

Sorry I said this would be a short post, I guess I do not know that word! Thank you for visiting and do please share this site with your friends and please do come back again, on Tue-Thur-Sat I post new things.

August 2020 On-The Cheap

Hot Nacho’s

This has always been one of my favorites. Hot nacho’s smothered in hot and gooey melted cheese with lots of jalapeno peppers.

Back in the year of 1984 when I was pregnant with my Son, I craved these things and they were cheap at the Indian Store that was in the neighborhood, so that was my wish from the store. It’s kinda funny because when my Son was a wee little one, he loved these also. The peppers and all.

Now days I keep tortilla chips and jalapenos in the house. I also keep boxed cheese in the house.

My recipe: Cut off a 1 inch thickness slice of the cheese

Put tortilla chips on a plate Have 1/4 c milk or even less nearby

Chop up jalapeno peppers first- have tortilla chips on a plate to warm in microwave.

Put cheese in a melting bowl for the microwave and add the milk by the Tablespoons only. Maybe start with 2. Stay beside the microwave as you are melting this, to keep checking to see if you need more milk or so that it will not burn the cheese. If you happen to use too much milk, then you can add a little more cheese to get it to thicken into a nice cheese sauce.

Take out of microwave and put in chips to heat for a very short while as they will catch on fire, ask me how I know. Then you stir the peppers into the cheese sauce and spoon all over the tortilla chips.

Now sit right down and enjoy these while they are hot!
