Do you make Ham Salad? I chop the ham in the food processor.......add sweet pickle relish, a little mustard, and mayo and that is my all time favorite sandwich.
Jacki.......your muffins sound like something we would like too. Just printed off the recipe. Thanks.

3 T. Cabernet Sauvignon

The REAL Tortilla

(Posted by Diana)

3-4 eggs
1/4 c onions (chopped)
1/2 small potato cubed
1/3 c ham cubed (optional)
3 tbl. water
Salt and pepper to taste

Fry the potatoes until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside. Beat together eggs, water, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the onions, ham and potatoes.
Heat a frying pan until hot over low to medium heat, using either oil or butter to grease the pan or a nonstick pan to prevent sticking. Pour in egg mixture. When the underside is a light golden brown slide it off onto a plate, I know the top will still be raw and gooey so try not to spill it. Invert plate over pan so cooked side is facing up. Once the other side is cooked. Remove from heat and serve. I know some people might be tempted to fold it in half like most omelettes are, but you don't do it with this recipe. Each serves one person generously. I'm sorry if the measurements are awkward, like the half a potato, usually this would be made for more than one person so we'd use whole ones, or if not we'd eat the rest on the side with ketchup.
