For Christmas, I prepared the Wassail ingredients and went to bed thinking that I'd wake up to that delicious aroma. When our son came to wake us up, I took a deep breath. Something was wrong. Maybe it was just my status quo of congestion. When I arrived at the crock pot, I discovered I had not plugged it in. Even set on high, it wasn't ready until dessert. Here's our recipe: 1 part cranberry juice 2 parts apple cider 1 orange studded with cloves 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks.

Imagine the panic when I arrived home that evening and discovered that I hadn't remembered to turn the crockpot ON!! We went out to eat instead and had a great time, but I can definitely relate to the cold crockpot encounter! Great "save" having omlettes!

I can answer this one....(well, for last night, anyway...) See, I had this ham (BIG ham) I was going to cook for Christmas. Well, we ended up having a turkey instead, so I kept the ham in the fridge thinking I would cook it up soon. Well, finally in a seldom-seen display of spontaneity, I fixed it for dinner last Friday and invited some friends over, spur of the moment-like. They ate and we ate and it still wasn't even dented...we've been having ham ever since. So last night, I fixed mac n cheese (b/c that's one of the few things <b>all</b> the kids will eat) BUT I threw in a cup or two of chopped up ham. It was pretty good and had the added bonus that the kids didn't really "see" the ham, so they were oblivious and ate it anyway. And, it was hot. But frankly, omelets sound yummilicious to me. Ooh! Maybe we'll have THOSE for dinner tonight!! We have lots of ham to go in them!! Ooh, Ooh! I can answer this one….(well, for last night, anyway…)

Dinner ready for tomorrow and impromptu omelets sound scrumptious! As for us, we shall be dining on tortilla soup and salad tonight. What a good attitude of flexibility you have!
