Baking a loaf of bread

[Marthe48]

and cooking a pot of beans. I bought some smoked turkey drumsticks at Kroger the other day. I roasted a pack, but they are really chewy, like jerky, and taste like ham. I thought if I cooked one with the beans, it'd be like ham and beans. So far, so good.

1. And what time is dinner? Would you prefer wine or beer?

I have seen those smoked drumsticks, but never tried them. They would have to live up to those at the RenFaire.

2. I've never been to a RenFaire, but my kids have

Vegetarians, though. They went to Bridge Day at New River in WV once too, said they had them there, too

I like the flavor of these. I roasted them according to the package directions, and they were hard to eat. I used the last one of 3 for the beans. I'll add some mixed vegetables to the beans in about 45 minutes.

Come by any time. I have rum and vodka, but you can bring beer Or wine!

6. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, crushed red peppers.

All I ever use, no matter the bean or meat. Granny's recipe 😉

7. I cut onions in when I start them

and garlic, salt, pepper, hot sauce. If I'm making them without meat, a dab of butter or olive oil. I like adding a cup of mixed vegetables for flavor and color.

My m-i-l's sister said to add boiling water, if you need to add water, and it cuts the cooking time.
