Humph!!
Disappointing dinners two nights in a row. I am probably more sad than I normally would have been but for the fact I was so looking forward to both. Last night was ham and white bean soup, one of my favorites. Totally blah! The ham hock I purchased had about two slivers of ham on it and it just didn't cut the mustard, really no flavor in the beans or the broth. Tonight was chicken roll-ups. I haven't made those forever and was thinking how yummy they would be. One small problem. A friend gave me a jar of home canned chicken that wasn't really it chicken. What was it??? Fish! Fish just doesn't do it for me when my brain had wrapped itself around chicken. I felt like Mrs. Snow in Pollyanna,"but I had my heart set on...". To top it off my chocolate chip cookies were a muddy mess running all over the pan. I hope my kitchen is friendlier next week.

That is sad, especially since I have bean and ham soup on my list this week - I'm afeared!
...calve's foot jelly. Whatever that stuff is?
Do you use chicken or veg broth when making bean soups? I find it deepens the flavor if you don't hav a ham bone or a good hamhock.
