Barbecue Ham Sandwiches

BARBECUE HAM

2 Tbsp. butter
½ cup celery, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. vinegar
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
¾ cup water
½ cup tomato soup
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire's sauce
¼ tsp. pepper
½ boneless ham, thinly sliced
Rolls, or buns

Sauté onion and celery in butter. Add remaining ingredients, except ham and rolls. Simmer for 15 minutes. Pour over ham. Simmer atop stove for 30-40 minutes; or, cook in crock-pot for 1 to 2 hours. Serve in rolls.

Now, I alter mine because my children wouldn't even dream of coming near this fabulous ham if they saw any little pieces of celery or onion. So, I omit those, and I don't taste too much of a difference. Of course, it's much better with them though. I also usually just mix everything together in a bowl, then without letting it simmer I pour it over the ham that I've placed in the crock-pot, and I let it cook in there for 4 hours. And, I usually leave out the water because it seems a little bit too runny for us when I put it in there. But, it's all personal preference. Seriously, this is good stuff; especially if you do let it cook longer because then it is more tender and yummy.

Blogiversary

Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read. When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read! I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month! After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends! I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more! Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks.

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
