Scaled this back to use 1 ham hock as that is all my crock pot will fit and just so enjoyed the extra vegies in the soup along with meat from the smoked hock. I cooked for 9 hours and when I went to remove the hock the meat just totally fell of the the bone and I scooped out as much of the meat as I could and well I could cut it into small sizes with a spoon it was just so tender, I gave the vegies a light blitz with the stick blender before returning the meat to the pot and enjoyed a wonderful soup for tea/dinner with some crusty garlic bread, thank you S. Merrill, made for Bargain Basement tag game..

My husband and I are empty-nesters who moved to Nampa, Idaho in October, 2005. I love to walk, and here in Nampa it is particularly enjoyable because of all the animals, something that was not a part of my walks in California.
I started writing about the subject of hospitality last year, and began posting the articles on our website, as well as "articles" sites on the "net". This has become a passion for me as I have watched people in our society becoming less and less connected. My husband and I are Christians, and as such, believe we have a responsibility to welcome others into our home, to be hospitable, if you will.
