Made some glorious stock from ham and pork bones yesterday, for which my favorite use is slow cooked beans. After soaking overnight, it's into a 300⁰F oven with baby limas, sliced pork jowl, onion, bay leaves, pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. The hard part is the waiting... 🍽️

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
