I invited my daughter's in-laws for dinner and a visit. We had ham, roasted red potatoes, peas, relish plates, cheese, dips, crackers, all kinds of cookies. I drained the pan juices off and made a small portion of ham gravy for the first time. Super rich, and most of it is left. I'm planning to use it when I make split peas soup soon.

I liked that everyone brought food that made it a family dinner. Lots of leftovers, come on over!
