I was passing by a row of hams at the grocery store and suddenly had a serious craving. “Cure 81″ ham is one of the things my mother made as I grew up, that I really loved. I believe that was always an Easter treat. Trouble is, a ham is a lot of meat–even if you make a nice dinner of one, you’re often going to end up with some leftovers.

So…to justify the decadent gluttony of a whole ham, I hatched a diabolical plan to justify the means. Basically, I decided on the leftovers first–ham sandwiches. From there, I worked out the details to spruce the simple sandwich up a bit. This isn’t a kid’s ham sandwich–too many flavors and textures for your average kid–so I’m calling it a grown-up sandwich.

You could opt out on any element I suggest here. But whatever you omit, the closer you come to just any old ham sandwich. It’s kind of a win-win scenario, actually. You’ll have something tasty either way!

A brief update as we head into the 2008 holiday season…

First off, I’ve got more clients for the freelance business than ever before. Infogressive, Skeels Inc. and a saltwater aquarium website are all on the docket. Ironically, it’s going to be a losing year for me when it comes tax time–all my jobs landed the final quarter of the year and won’t be complete until the first quarter of 2009. I was really busy with the CISSP exam, so the 6 month “break” away from freelancing was anything but unproductive though. I’ll point out these new projects as they are seen to fruition.

Here’s my wish list for next Spring that I’ve been piecing together for my convertible. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with how it looks and runs now. But…there’s always something more that can be done to it, without turning it into an obsession (or a mockery). I’m making this list both as a means of deleting a jumble of bookmarks and incentive for me to work on.
