yup.and in the form of fold over sandwich
Eating ham for Christmas and Easter dinner was a way to show Faith in The Living Word of Christ . Words that come from the mouth is the offence not food that goes in . So as most of the World said eating pork made you unclean Christians served ham as example of Faith .
We had country ham , eggs , grits , homemade biscuits and coffee for breakfast and baking a ham for Easter dinner .

Easter "dinner" was Chinese curry chicken and black mushrooms with rice noodles.
Baked ham, au gratin potatoes, corn on the cob and cauliflower
I love to cook, well at least eat, but have been lazy today. Nothing special for the holiday today. Made a big omelette for breakfast and a grilled cheese for lunch. I’m just foraging for leftovers for the rest of the day. With all I’ve been eating lately I can afford to skip a meal or two anyways.
Brisket tacos
Taco night sounds really good. Been too long.
Creamed potatoes with chunks of leftover Easter ham, crusty homemade bread and a salad.
Creamy crawfish boil soup. We made a soup from the leftover crayfish boil from week before last, I took a container out the freezer. Its basically like a shrimp and corn soup, you cut up all the celery, onion, garlic and sauteed in butter. Add corn, potatoes, asparagus, mushrooms from the boil, add heavy whipping cream, cream of mushroom, cream of celery. Bring it to a boil, add peeled crawfish tails, let it return to boil and immediately simmer. It's so good with French bread.
You can find the recipe online.

Some sort of chicken dish is on the stove. I'm not sure what yet.

She says it's "鹵雞" sounds kind of like Lu Ji, but I can't pronounce it right to save my life, LOL
She says it means "Stewed Chicken". Google translate says it means "Braised Chicken."
It's not what I call "stewed" more like boiled with hot peppers and other spices after being sauteed.
Big batch of homemade chili and a side of spaghetti to pour it over. I guess it’s a Kentucky thing... I will have leftovers for a few days now so am a happy camper.

Further clarification, LOL
It IS supposed to be stewed but she doesn't like cooking it that long. I don't either.
Other ingredients are Sake and ginger.
Does this chili have beans or no beans on top of spaghetti noodles?
I don’t use as many beans as my mother did but yes it does have regular chili beans. I also double the ground beef in it. Lots of garlic, onion, pepper and other spices. The sauce is a little thinner than regular chili but full of flavor. Like I posted on another thread the noodles make it into a hardy meal on its own. It also gets better after sitting mixed in the fridge for a day or two....

Going to make mac and cheese with fried Spam and a shrimp salad for dinner.
I had fried bologna for lunch. Sometimes a little ‘mystery meat’ is pretty good when it’s fried!

Ummm "mystery meat". I worked for many years in ******** countries around the world. And one of the things that I learned pretty quickly was to never look too closely at my food. And never ask what it was!
I cooked an old pack of ramen noodles and put in the oldest can of chicken I had. Chopped up some green onions from the garden and added some left over green beans. It wasnt bad and very filling.
I did add some Louisiana hot sauce and Tony's creole seasoning.

I had 2 whole chickens I took out freezer that needed cooking. One I made rosemary chicken with carrots, the other I put in pressure cooker for a chicken stew and gravy. I also made potatoes 2 ways, made a potato salad and mashed potatoes with gravy. I oven baked asparagus and Brussels sprouts in olive oil, sea salt, cracked black pepper, Mrs. dash garlic herb sesoning and grated parmesan cheese. We will eat one of each today and the other tomorrow.

I smell onions frying, I think we're having fried rice.
With all the new Preppers this pandemic has brought out all the pinto beans were bought up . So we are having a pot of blackeye peas , rice and cornbread .
I had leftover pizza, fish and shrimp. My wife made a chicken pot pie today that I will try in just a little bit here. Smells good anyways. It was supposed to rain all day so I put away the tractor and tools away and just stayed inside all day. Was good to get some rest at least but have been snacking all day.

Tonight I'm planning on leftover sloppy Joes. I usually don't get to the house until after 8 so I need something that I can easily heat up on the wood stove. Lunch today was 3 oranges, a banana and an apple. And I had to share the banana and apple with the dog! At least he quit drinking beer a couple years ago so I don't have to share everything with the mutt.
