Great minds, Bob.  I set navy beans to soaking last night.  I had already 
made a broth from half the ham bone (the other half has already been made 
into split pea soup and eaten) and will shortly start the beans to cooking. 
I'll whip up some buttermilk biscuits and youngest already took out a jar of 
homemade jam.  Have some lettuce growing on the window sill and I'll open a 
jar of pickled red onion, cici beans and cucumber slices and we'll have a 
salad.

next year it will be our own ham which is growing at the neighbors (he has 
better fencing) as we speak <g>  He grows the hogs and we grow the turkeys 
and all is well with the world!
