is already chopped up and in the crockpot for Ham and Lentil soup. Yum!

What is anyone else doing with holiday leftovers?

I've got the ham bone in the freezer for a pot of split pea soup later. I sent leftover ham home with both my girls and with my mother and left just enough so Elery and I could have sandwiches. Same with the homemade rolls, the twice baked sweet potatoes and the desserts. Everyone had leftovers!

SIL had to work so it was just us and a small ham, which I stuck in the pressure cooker. Second night we had reruns...ham, and the leftover asparagus went into some leftover risotto. Then ham, cheese and kimchi paninis. Then a casserole with ham, spaetzle and broccoli. The bone and scraps went back into the pressure cooker and the broth and last hunk of ham are in the freezer for soup.

Chase, you are right... pots are thin. And they get a little thinner each time I scrub them! I wish my waist line (but not hair!) would take a lesson from them! I looked and looked for something called a flame tamer tonight. I went to Target, Publix, Wal-mart, Lowes, and Winn-dixie. None of them have such a thing... I looked in the pots and pans, in the gadgets (potato masher, drip pans, knifes), and in the grill sections. I wonder if this is some cooking forum conspiracy... am I on candid camera looking for something that doesn't exist? OK, I know they exist because I googled them (maybe just not in FL!!). I'll try Linnen's N Things tomorrow. I also had a fleeting thought wondering if the soup could be salvaged. I decided that the answer was no... I started to ask here and then changed my mind. Best to start all over. I'm going to spend my new car fund on peas if this keeps up... I bought a new bag tonight and it was 64 cents! Highway robbery ;-P

Annie, My family loves leftover roast pork in lots of asian inspired recipes, like fried rice, fresh rolls, wontons, steamed buns....... Or you could go latin and burritos, chili or the above suggested posole. A classic hunter's stew would also be lovely. Personally I have tons of left over smoked ham, and while we did have a lovely ham and egg breakfast yesterday, followed by a ham/mac/cheese casserole, I am now portioning the remaining ham into small packets for the freezer where it will be meted out in meals all winter long. Plus the kids are fighting over the bone to see if it will be pea soup or yankee bean.

We had a casserole with noodles, peas and ham with a white sauce with cheese in, plus leftover cherry pie. This is Glenda's pineapple casserole recipe: GlendaÂs Pineapple casserole 1 cup sugar 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 cups grated sharp cheddar **grate your own 2 (20-ounce) cans pineapple chunks, drained, and 6 tablespoons pineapple juice reserved 1 cup cracker crumbs --I use saltine, but ritz works too 1/2 cup melted butter Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a medium-size casserole dish. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour and pineapple juice. Gradually stir in the cheese. Add the drained pineapple chunks, and stir until ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. In another medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, Spread crumb mixture on top of pineapple mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Well, I'm late to this party, but I'd also vote for creamy potato and ham, or maybe a ham/potato/corn chowder. I used to make a "cream of vegetable" soup for the girls with every darned vegetable left over in the fridge, with ham added and then added milk and thickener to make "cream of". They loved the stuff. Artemis, like you, I tend to reach for the salt when I have potatoes, probably a product of my upbringing. Grandma would boil a big pan of potatoes and keep them in the refrigerator for American Fries. If we were hungry we'd grab a cold boiled potato for a snack, sprinkle liberally with salt and go on our way. Annie
