Long Slow Exhale And Some Ham

It’s now 2019.  I wish I had posted more over the holidays, but I was swamped.  Hubs and I were complete recluses over New Year’s because we both needed serious down time.  I had visions of posting all my dinners over the holidays and I was lucky enough to snap some pics of some platters and that was about it.  I’m fine with it.  It was more important to me to spend time with my friends and family.  Priorities and all.  I know you’ll all forgive me.

So now what?  Well, I’m currently in leftovers oblivion.  I think Hubs and I have powered through most of it.  We greatly over estimated the ham situation, though.  Yes, I cured my own hams for the holidays.  Then Hubs smoked them.  Then I dropped them in the sous vide.  Then I baked one and kept one in reserve.

The point is….we have some ham.  We’ve already done grilled ham and cheese sammys.  Of course, there will be hambone navy bean soup.  But I’m a bit tired of my usual leftover ham repertoire of scalloped potato casserole.  Or ham pot pie.  What a yawn.  I do like some hawaiian pizza, but I’m not ready to make pizza sauce.  And I don’t want to go to the store for cheese.

Tonight, then, is ham and pineapple skewers.  With mushrooms.  And barbecue sauce.  On some rice.  Yes.  I have all of those things.  No grocery store.  However, when I bought the mushrooms, I forgot why I was buying them because Hubs and I were having a tiff and I was flustered.  So I accidentally got sliced instead of whole, but I know ya’ll won’t mind them in the pics.  Ha!
