Leftovers!

If you have a recipe that requires copious amounts of ham, I will pay you money for it. Seriously. Post it NOW. (And bonus points if it requires parsley, rosemary, basil, or thyme, as someone apparently fed my herbs steroids.)

One of the best things about holidays is all the leftover food. Especially when you're the one who hosted, and all that delicious food is sitting in your fridge. Here's my problem, though. I don't know what to do with all the ham. The hard boiled eggs are easy, despite the fact that we have about 24 of them. I can make deviled eggs or egg salad, which will be promptly inhaled by my cholesterol-loving family. But I drew a blank for creative ideas while staring at our leftover ham this morning. A side note: have you ever noticed that in November and December the magazine are all filled with articles about easy leftovers using turkey, but come March or April, not a peep about ham leftovers?

Luckily, Google never lets me down. Here's a recipe for ham scones I found this morning, and we'll be making it this afternoon. Note it includes rosemary - even better!

Dinner tonight: ham scones (I hope), green salad, deviled eggs. Happy eating!
