hey it's me again
it's been a while
I've got a new Large Recipe for you
This one's a favorite of mine: ham bone and bean soup.
I usually make it a little ad-hoc, with a package of 12-bean soup mix and whatever I have on hand, but I found a few recipes for when I actually made a dinner-worthy version and not "freeze half for lunches for two solid weeks" version
so these were from NYT cooking, which is paywalled, but I handily saved pdf copies to my google drive for ya.

you can see there's lots of variants, but the basics are something like this:
-beans. lots of beans.
-ham bone, preferably with some meat still on it. extra ham if you want more ham.
-some hardy stew veg like onions, carrots, celery
-some kind of hearty leafy green, 'specially kale or collards. not a big fan of cabbage in this like the one recipe has
-bay leaf. garlic. salt 'n pepper.
stew it till done. food for a week. tastes like heaven.
