once more for a piece of ham with honey glaze. sweet potatoes, a veg(don't know what just yet) hot rolls and cranberry sauce.

that will do it for the christmas left overs.

froze the bulk of what ham was left, after i took out slices for dinner and chopped a large baggie full of ham pieces to make soup on sunday. i will share with my son's family.
 
We decided to end the year with a nice "splurge" dinner. Shrimp cocktail, an assortment of marinated imported olives, grilled ribeye steaks, baked potatoes, sauteed onions and mushrooms, and a nice cool slice of grasshopper pie for dessert. Life is good!!!
 
No cooking for me today. All of the family are going to our favorite Chinese place just as we do every year. Tomorrow,my girls are cooking for me for my birthday, yipppeeeee
