To your earlier question, noticeably missing from TG's menu is chick peas -- hummus and or falafel, both of which I love. Probably my favorite vegetarian dishes.

(36C) crumbles it up in her bowl which I think is disgusting.Of course I add yellow mustard to mine which she thinks is disgusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of your list, grape leaves are the one thing I don't like. My wife loves them tho so if we get an appetizer platter, they get enjoyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We usually have a bone-in ham a few times a year and leave some meat on.Wrap in foil and freeze.Take out and thaw and then put in the pot with water and a few pounds of packaged pinto beans and cook on low on the stove.The aroma right now is Next we'll be making up a large pan of sweet cornbread to go with it.

We always make a soup out of a leftover ham hock, usually with pinto beans. We always have a big bag of the beans in the house, living in north messico like we do. There is nothing quite like that aroma. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
