  • 90 Min Soup Beans

    90 Min Soup Beans

    The First Reader has been asking me to make soup beans for a while now. I’d finally gotten around to finding a smoked ham shank, as cooking a whole ham for three of us, in the apartment was… too much. I had a snow day, and I cooked all day. Ran the oven for most…

  • Maxing Out the Oven

    I realized earlier this week after commenting that I’d maxed out my oven for the first time in this house that I was wrong. I could have adjusted the racks and put a bit more in there. But I didn’t need to. Everything fit, and there was nothing on the stovetop for this meal, which…
