So far it's been ok rain off & on today it's supposed to be nice out maybe go for a drive it's so nice of you to do things for your daughter

I have four daughters, one is still single and at home, 27, one is divorced and is back home, 36.. They other two are still married, 31 & 36, but their husbands don't know, can't or just won't do anything around the house, so they call dad or papa (one of them calls me papa)..

I have five grandchildren, 4, 6, 10, 11, 11.. The middle one, Sandy, is the only granddaughter, so you just she is spoiled as spoiled can be.. She's got papa's number, lol..

2 nights ago, I made a huge pot of Spanish garbanzo bean soup. When it was done, I shoved it in the fridge. I was going to serve it the next night for supper. I did, and had quite a bit left, so was going to call my other daughter to come get some too, since she loves my Spanish garbanzo bean soup. Dd #1 heated it back up, and served it for lunch yesterday. Last night, I went in to cook, and everyone (except Dh. He doesn't like anything with beans) said they'd rather have more soup. We finished it off. Of course, we paired it with a loaf of good Cuban bread that I had buttered, and put in the oven to toast.

YUMMY..

I also use onions, bell pepper and a bit of salt to taste. Salt depends on how salty the ham bone is.

Gas coming from beans is dependent upon your normal diet. If you eat enough of what is in beans that feeds different gut bacteria, you will not get a lot of gas

Root Beer cooked ham? Yummo! Nothing ethnic in the Ham Radio group. I'm probably as close as ethnic as it gets with my Native American and Pennsylvania Duetch genetics.

My church back in IL was predominately German and man the food was to die for when they had pot lucks. German potato salad which if made right is not vinigery and sour. Not so much ethnic, but pecan pie, German Springerly and Lebkuchen cookies. German style noodles......making myself hungry. Got on the scales this morning and discovered I've lost a total of 13 pounds so far. Only 17 more to go!
