I have had, however, pots of beans seasoned with ham hocks, Smithfield ham, or just regular cured bacon or pork belly. And plenty of thick, fluffy hunks of cornbread slathered with butter to know what I'm talkin' about. I thought those were butter beans in there...you know, those are my favorite :) <BR/><BR/>Have fun skipping through the field, playing nice with the other scientists.Nikki @ NikSnackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756950048513201740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12768753.post-9714415384355613952008-09-24T17:29:00.000-07:002008-09-24T17:29:00.000-07:00Did someone say "Bordeaux"?Did someone say "Bordeaux"?Norm Schoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578625756483131492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12768753.post-53149926084393545992008-09-24T05:18:00.000-07:002008-09-24T05:18:00.000-07:00My cholesterol levels went up 50 points while read...My cholesterol levels went up 50 points while reading this post haha.
