When I invited Peter (friend) and his wife, I asked them would they prefer a seafood dinner, which I know they love also, or the hocks???? "Now Lore, that's a silly question, I can get seafood in any restaurant, but not pork hocks!" Was his answer.

It really was a 'lighter' version than my normal beef stew ~ heavy on veg and no white potatoes at all.  The gravy was much lighter than I would normally make.  I ended up taking a quart out of the pot before thickening and adding the peas so I could let it cool and then stick it in the freezer for another time.  It's so difficult to make something like a stew that is only enough for a couple servings and maybe a lunch serving leftover.  So, my freezer is my favorite kitchen appliance these days.
