Comment on Ham Hock vs. Ham Shank by Patrika

I live in Maryland and have NEVER seen “ham shanks” in any store; hocks – yes. For a healthier dish, however, I have switched from smoked ham hocks to smoked turkey drums. They have so much more meat to flavor those beans and you really can’t tell that much of a difference in taste!

I agree with Randy. Just from experience, the ham shanks I buy generaly have MUCH more meat than the hock. I have wondered the same thing for years, so buying both at the same time several times has given this result.

Comment on Weed Identification by Sally Smith

You know what they say: a plant growing in the wrong place is a weed. The reverse is true. This weed is harmless easy to pull out, and not bad looking. I leave it to grow in my garden in California- until it loses its color.

Comment on Bread Machine Wheat Bread by Jeff Rogers

An interesting ingredient that you might try is an ‘Onion Soup Mix’ packet.

Gives a wonderful smell and makes a delicious bread. I like to do it with wheat bread, and I use sour cream to give the loaf a good texture.

(And, of course, nothing beats grinding your own wheat …)

A ham shank is a meatier cut found inbetween the ham and the hock, next to the shank end of the ham!

If you’re prepared, being snowed in is great! (So long as you have power or a firplace). Don’t hog all the snow though, pass some on to us so we can experience a school closure! lol

Greg ~ Good luck with your battle against scale. I’m not sure what kind of infestation is is, but I hope the white oil helps!
