Stan, that is what we do with the bone out of a Honey Baked Ham. Soak a bag of white Navy beans overnight, rinse and drain, throw them and the hambone in the crockpot with enough water to cover and let it cook all day. One of the best meals we make.
All is quiet on the Eastern front....The Huns charge began about 10:00....They breached our outer defenses and streamed thru the opened portals like a pack of hungry wolves.
Their encroachment was followed closely by the Visigoths from next door, who had been lying concealed in ambush until the bloodthirsty hordes from up on the hill made their first advances.
It was mass mayhem and destruction for the old folks who inhabited the castle. Carnage reigned supreme, and when the smoke & dust had settled there was precious left.
Nothing of value really, just some worthless trinkets and a few scraps of food which the hungry dogs were picking over.
But, the walls are still standing, and the old ones are still strong.
As has happened so many times before, they will begin the process of rebuilding their fortunes. Readying themselves for the next attack, which they are sure will be coming sooner than they wish.
For now though, they will rest, and savor the quiet peace which follows the battle.
Doc, you are quite the linguist! GREAT JOB!!!..... I think HDF is looking for writers.
