FUN WITH LEFTOVERS

Hello Foodie Friends:

Thanksgiving has come and gone, so has the regular football season.

By the time last Saturday rolled around, (Florida- F.S.U.) we were tired of Turkey and decided we wanted Steak & Fries. 

 It was GOOD, and a nice break of the Thanksgiving routine.

But we wanted to do something with our left over Turkey and Ham, so we rustled up some Ham Salad and the BEST Cream of Turkey Soup I have eaten.

It's "Two For The Price of ONE" on Kill it, Cut it up, and Cook it.... 

 
So let's get to it. 

But first, another look at the exciting life of President Cleveland. 

So let's take a look at what we need for the HAM SALAD !!!!

Left over HAM

  Since we cooked for 8 on Thanksgiving, Penny got a nice ham from Honey Baked. We had plenty left over

Colby Cheese

Sweet Gherkins Pickles

Mayo

Pimentos (nice and Chopped)

Grate the Ham, Cheese and Pickles in Food Processor

 

Put into a bowl

Put Pimentos in food processor and CHOP

 

Add the chopped Pimentos to the bowl and stir

ADD 

½ Cup Mayo then stir well

½ Cup Mayo then stir again

¼ Cup Pickle Juice

Chill

How easy can that be ??? 

I like Lettuce on my Ham Samwitch.

Now on to the TURKEY SOUP !!!!

But first :

My Indiana friends will get it......

CREAM OF TURKEY SOUP

½ Large Onion (Chopped)

½ Stick of Salted Butter

1 Celery Stalk (Chopped)

½ Cup of Wondra Flour

1 TBL Fresh Parsley (Chopped)

1 tsp Fresh Tarragon (Chopped)

This was soooooo sooooo good !!!!!

So when you have plenty of left overs, you now have two good ideas as to what to make.

Oh, Football turned out great as the Gators got all over F.S.U.

Catch me if you can !!!

And Ball State finished up yet another dismal year with a 5 and 7 record.

So we close out the football season. (Until Jan 1) and turn our attention to Basketball !!!

See you next time, as we show how to make Home Made Lemonade.....

Live Long and Prosper
