OMG we have so much ham in the freezer right now...

We got a 16 pounder for Easter Dinner. Afterwards, I filled three large bags with leftover ham, kept one out and froze two of them, along with the bone for soup. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I LOVE ham, ham sandwiches, however, but that is a LOT of freakin' ham. I also made dinner rolls, so they'll make a great medium for the sandwiches to come. I had another brainstorm which was a roaring success. We had the traditional green bean casserole, you know the one with the fried onion bits mixed in and then on top. But Wife ALSO wanted asparagus. So I suggested putting the asparagus in the cassarole. Wife originally said no, but then thought about it. I replaced half the green beans (Wife uses canned green beans, and I hate canned vegies.) with fresh asparagus, cut to inch or inch and a half lengths. Neither of us like mushrooms so we use Cream of Anything Else Soup (usually asparagus), and it was incredible. It, of course, cooked long enough for the asparagus to turn tender. I cut back on the milk, knowing that fresh asparagus has liquid in it, so it wasn't soupy (I'm sure the onion thingies help prevent that anyway). This is a keeper, though I doubt we'll be getting fresh asparagus for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners.
So today I'm going out and doing those shopping errands. Lets see if I can find a chance to walk off some of that dinner. Maybe a side trip to the State park, or riverside walk. The glasses I think are first, that'll give me a week to get used to them. Then a jacket. Why do they call them sport coats? There isn't a sport in the world that wears them....
