\"Ham

If you don’t know my mom, then you’re missing out. \u00a0She’s an actual<\/em> angel on earth. \u00a0I entirely expect her to be canonized in years to come. \u00a0She is absolutely everything I strive to be on a daily basis. \u00a0And I learned most of my little cooking tricks from her. \u00a0But it’s possible that I didn’t always recognize the things my mom did for me. \u00a0Like making me eat Ham and Bean Soup.<\/p>\n

I dreaded Ham and Bean soup at my house when I was a kid.\u00a0 I’m not sure why I didn’t like it….I think maybe it was the white color. \u00a0Regardless, I dreaded it. \u00a0Then…I don’t know what happened…I grew up, maybe? \u00a0But now I look forward to it.<\/p>\n

My mom purposely makes ham for family get togethers so she will have the bone to make ham and bean soup – which she then distributes to me and my siblings the next day.\u00a0 (I’m completely serious, by the way.\u00a0 I told you she’s an angel.)\u00a0 Now, I love this soup – primarily because it has my mom written all over it – literally from the beginning to the end, but also because it really is delicious.<\/p>\n

We (of course) smoked our ham<\/a> instead of baking it. \u00a0But obviously, a ham bone is a ham bone, whether is baked or smoked. \u00a0What makes this soup special is the memory of a woman who taught me the joy of cooking, the joy of trying new things, the joy of growing up.<\/p>\n

Love you, Mom.<\/p>\n
