I mentioned on the Mother's Day Menu thread that we were having sub sandwiches on homemade bread. When I cut the loaf open, I take some bread out of the middle, to leave room for a stack of meat, cheese, and fixins'. I save the surplus bread, so tonight I cubed it, then made a breakfast casserole, with some of the left-over ham, and cheddar cheese. Served it with steamed asparagus (homegrown) and broccoli (on sale at Kroger). My son-in-law picked up ice cream on his way home, but I passed on that. A storm hit just as we sat down to eat, but my kitchen was nice and cozy.

Today is my and hubby's 36th Wedding Anniversary. We ordered takeout from one of the local town diners.. I had the blueberry pancakes with a cup of tea, and hubby got the French toast, eggs and bacon.. Sometimes we just love having good ole breakfast food for dinner..

My husband didn't come home, so I didn't cook. I had a ham sandwich on white bread. Jody doesn't like white bread, so I always buy wheat bread. But, I bought two cheap loaves for my pet pig, so I kept a couple of slices and made a ham sandwich. I made tartar sauce a couple of days ago...mayo, stuffed olives and Claussen dills...and it is really a good sandwich spread, so had that on my sandwich. I found a recipe I wanted to try. I bought a little cook book put out by the extension service in Galveston Co. They have a pecan show and a contest for the best pecan recipes. I found a recipe for jalapeno cornbread with toasted pecans and bacon. (Also has sour cream and cheese in it). I was going to make it tonight and make shrimp gumbo, since I fry bacon and use bacon grease for the roux....so I will do that tomorrow. I was late getting in the house tonight, by the time I finished feeding all the animals. It takes at least an hour and a half to feed...so by the time I got in....I was glad I didn't have to cook.

I'm going to a holiday gathering tonight so have no idea what I will be eating. But since I'm not the one cooking it (catered affair), I know I will enjoy it!! I have a ham bone in the frig just waiting to be turned into pea soup, so maybe I'll do that tomorrow (thanks, Rhizo!!). And fried oysters are about my most favorite thing ever, so those sound wonderful too but not something I'd make at home.
