I just got a HUGE pot of vegetable soup started. We "put up" a lot of veggies last summer. I threw in crushed and whole peeled tomatoes, kidney beans, cut corn, okra, green beans and black-eyed peas along with assorted spices (such as a rather large ham-hock ).

This will be for supper tomorrow night when I'll whip out a pan of cornbread (no sugar) to crumble up in it. It's about three gallons worth so I'll freeze what's left.

The cow arrives Wednesday so this will be my last non-beef meal for quite a while.

It's cooking in a stainless pot and I started to take a reflecto-porn photo to share with the board but that seemed unsanitary.
