Just made one of the most successful dishes of my dad career. Catfish fillets w/ fresh dill, thyme, lemon. So good.

@phooky I just learned how to slow-cook a ham hock in a pot of collards and peas. The hock itself is gross, but the food it touches becomes delicious.

@jmjm does the hock become delicious over time? I hate wasting meat! (I completely agree that pork is best at making the things around it amazing, which is probably why I like mapo tofu so much.)

The slow cooked hock slowly dissolves into the stew, leaving some disgusting skin and ankle bones. But everything else becomes magic.
