Cooking & Baking

I mined the very bottom of the freezer this afternoon and found ham and ham stock from November. So it was time for ham bean soup with great northern beans, carrot, onion, celery, garlic, black pepper, bay leaf and a touch of cumin. The broth and ham can vary greatly in taste and aroma so I decide on the seasonings at the moment. Sometimes mustard or chili powder seems to be needed.

Sandwich of turkey breast with tomato slices and mayo on whole wheat.

Ducky enjoyed some of the ham trimmings as I cooked and he had some of TJ's ham from her soup, but his manna from heaven moment was when a thick slice of turkey fell from my sandwich onto the floor.
