I like ham. Laurie buys them when they're on sale - something like $0.89/lb - and we'll cook one on a weekend then make sandwiches for the week.
This weekend we made one and I made ham salad with about half of it.
This time I added three pickled eggs as a secret ingredient and it made it extra delicious.
I make my pickled eggs with habenero peppers so they are quite spicy and that flavor came through in the ham salad.
Delicious!

Quinoa
Last night we made quinoa. It's been a while since we made it; I'm not sure why because it's quick, easy, and delicious.
Take a cup of quinoa and rinse it a couple of times. It has a natural pesticide on it that needs to be removed. I just do one cup in a two cup measurer and change the water several times.
Saute some aromatics - carrots, onions, celery - in a sauce pan. Add a lot of water or stock (not the good stuff - about 6:1) and a cup of quinoa.
Boil for 15 minutes. Do not stir!
Pour through a sieve and let rest for a few minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
