GREEN BEANS:
Snap (2 Lbs.) "FRESH" GB's and place in pot.
Barely cover with water.
Slow cook (simmering).
When half cooked add salt (1/2 Tblsp.) and bacon grease(1 Tblsp.).
Cook until tender and water has almost completely evaporated
Remove from stove and serve!
Probably saving it for New Years Day along with the black eye peas and corn bread.

I am drooling just looking at this picture. Next year I am going to scroll through this thread and find a dinner that looks good then invite myself over. I am not bothering with cooking a big dinner this weekend. For me and my dog it's just too much. I will make a killer breakfast for her and I though. Breakfast is always so good.
No ham hock or bone this time...
had bacon for breakfast and saved the grease and used it to
get the same effect.....probably save the ham bone from
Christmas Dinner and use it next time....
Well, it's 8:00, sitting here drinking a cup of coffee, enjoying the last few moments of peace and quiet before the kids, grandkid and greatgrandma arrive for waffles, bacon, sausage, eggs, OJ, lots more coffee and the traditional family breakfast at the oldogs place.
Every time I purchase bread, it turns to mold before I can enjoy it. I happened to look in the pantry today, and found a box of sourdough bread mix. I pulled out my old breadmaking machine, and two hours later, I had a loaf of freshly made bread. With it still hot, I added a little (ok, lots of) butter and I'm here to tell you, it was tasty!
