Tonight was so much fun! Our good friends Nancy & Bill have been strangers for the past couple of weeks for a couple of reasons. #1 It's been incredibly COLD here and it's tought to get out of your house when it's below zero. #2 Bill was "on call" for many of those days so he had to stay around and be good just in case a call came in for a gas man. I called at 5:30 ish to see if they might be persuaded to drop everything and head to our favorite Mexican restaurant for a little adult beverage and some food. As luck would have it Nancy had just pulled into the drive with a pizza..so I told Bill to have her call me back after they discussed it. Not 30 seconds later the phone rang and Nancy was proclaiming, "I can almost taste it!!!" So the story has a happy ending, we did get our adult beverage, and boy was it good!
Nancy and I have been friends since Kindergarten. We both married great husband who happen to get along, and we both love to cook. About a year ago Nancy and I entered a chile cook off and won 1st place. We did have a great recipe, I'll have to ask Nancy if it's OK to share it with you before I post it.
This weekend our card club will meet and we'll be gathering with some of our dearest friends including Nancy & Bill. There is always so much food that we almost make fun of ourselves for it....almost. Here is a recipe for a hot sandwich that has been served several times at card club.
HOT HAM SANDWICHES
1 lb shaved ham
American swiss cheese slices - 1 slice per sandwich
8 onion or sesame seed buns
1/2 C. butter - room temp
2 Tbsp onion - grated
2 Tbsp mustard
1 Tbsp poppy seeds
Mix together the butter, onion, mustard and poppy seeds. Spread each bun with 1 Tbsp. (or more) of this mixture. Divide the ham between the buns and top with 1 slice of cheese. Wrap in foil and refrigerate. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350* and bake for 20 minutes.
