Thanks for lots of encouragement!
This was an enjoyable and different cook to start the change into Fall. Learning is always a key ingredient, and pork hocks are certainly a lot different from ham hocks ! ..... duuuhhh .. I'm glad I added the brisket since the hocks provided very little meat to the beans.
I think the brisket point was a bit 'fatty' and several pieces had to be discarded 'mid-chew' (pardon the graphic comment near breakfasttime). Next time I will be sure to have some pulled pork or shoulder slices around to add as needed. The bottle of Corona substituted for some of the cooking water didn't hurt.
The dutch oven was only a 4 qt so a 1 lb bean recipe is about all it will handle. That's great for me, but not nearly large enough for most here.
Your many comments make every cook a fun event ! Many thanks!
