leftovers

I was singing in the shower this morning, replacing lyrics with phrases like "glaze a giant ham" and "eating lots of ham" and...the like. So I thought since I can't even concentrate on my Christmas Eve morning shower cocktail, I'd plot my course of action for after tomorrow's leftover ham has a good night's sleep in the fridge. It thought it was done. Psh.

Even if it doesn't taste funny, there's something about 5-day-old bird that doesn't scream "eat me," unless you're still in college and truly don't care, etc. But ham — the ham is super-salty, practically cured at that point, and lasts way longer (especially if it's still on the bone). I don't know the science behind it, but keeping meat on the bone will definite prolong its life for a day or two, making this insane fried rice recipe the star of today's lunch menu.

Looks like we're not the only ones obsessed with food and design. The blog Insatiable is completely devoted to the subject, and even created a snazzy infographic about Thanksgiving that they've offered to share through Food Republic. Thanks, indeed! Now pass the turkey...
