Been having some "homesick" pangs lately. Which is so odd because Tucson is my home...but it is my theory that, when you are born and bred in the South, there is always a little piece of your heart that longs to be there. This Texas girl is fighting with those feelings (missing a few sets of grandparents lately). Today I figured I would soothe the "sickness" in the best way possible, with some southern food (soul food of a different kind from last night's). A photo {from above} of today's dinner in the slow cooker: Ham hocks, fresh snapped green beans and red potatoes. I will also be making some sweet tea here soon.
