“Eternity is two people and a ham.” Attributed to Dorothy Parker, Mark Twain, and others, but no good evidence for any particular originator.
Apart from ham-and-swiss sandwiches on dark rye, we like to make ham salad, before the inevitable soup (split pea last ham, so navy bean this time). Had Denver omelets this morning.
The secret to split pea and ham soup is a dash of sherry.
