A pinch of this~a dash of that...
A few days after Christmas, I have a favorite recipe that I always make.
It's a great way to use up any leftover ham...
Ham and cabbage
Put the ham bone into a large soup pot. Fill the pot about half full with water. Heat the water to a rolling boil so that any ham left on the bone will cook off. Add half of a medium onion, chopped.
Boil for 45 minutes to an hour.Remove the bone and pull off any remaining ham with a fork. Discard the bone and put remaining ham back into the pot.
Add about 6 quartered potatoes. I used red ones because that's what I had on hand. Cook until potatoes are tender, then add half a head of cabbage, chopped in large pieces, and a bag of frozen green beans.
Hubby likes a thicker broth so I sprinkle in some instant mashed potatoes. (great as a thickener for soups and stews).
Make sure you make enough for leftovers because it's always better the second day after the flavors mingle!...Enjoy!

Gone for another year...
Today brings an end to the 12 days of Christmas,and it's time to pack it all away for one more year!
Yesterday morning, you couldn't find the dining room table in all this mess...
But by early afternoon, everything was back to normal...and it always looks so bare.
As I was packing away the ornaments, I was looking at the detail in this little "snow lady"that I got at a craft show a few years ago. Her arms and legs are thinner then my little finger. It had to take some time and to turn this fabric and stuff. Her dress is sheer organza with gathered puff sleeves and front buttons.
Her head is made of clay and and a white petal flower forms her bonnet. If you sew, you realize that a lot of time and patience went into this tiny doll!
January 1st was my 200 post!!!
I remember thinking when I started this blog...what in the world will I ever find to talk about.
