Dick cooked these yesterday and took a couple out for a photo. We're heading off for a
few days and this will be the meal Monday night. Just think of me, a vegetarian, sitting
amongst 3 men enjoying these shanks - I think I'll need my ear plugs! The two men
accompanying us are widowers who recently lost their wives....as a matter of fact, they are
from a group of four men who taught at the same school, and we have been friends for 45
years. I am the only wife still alive from that group, a sobering thought!

I'm not sure what Dick will cook to go with the shanks - most probably mashed potato
beans and something else, maybe sweet potato & pumpkin?
