Navy Bean Soup with Ham

Tonight we had navy bean soup with ham.  Kind of weird for summer, I suppose, but it's a crock-pot thing...and crock-pot things are fabulous for Wednesdays.  Also, we had a ham bone and some ham left in the freezer from the Sunday before last.  So, this morning I speed-soaked the beans and put them in the crock-pot on low with the ham bone, water, and salt.  When I got home, I turned it on "warm" and added some minced onion.  Shortly before serving, the bone was removed and chunks of ham, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper were added.  It tasted good, but the color leaves something to be desired... So, I added fresh baby spinach to mine!  Problem solved.  


I promise I meant to post much earlier, but when we got home, my brother turned on the TV and "Enchanted" was on.  I don't know why it is, but every time that is on, I HAVE to watch it...even though I own the DVD.  It is my favorite.  I definitely recommend it.  To be quite honest, I originally saw it when it came to theaters because "McDreamy" was in it.  I didn't think the storyline actually looked that appealing.  Wrong.  It is fantastic.  Especially if you know the other movies it kind of mocks.  It is definitely worth your time, if you get the chance to watch it!
