Have you eaten all your Easter Dinner Leftovers?

Every year....every year I vow to make less....I didn't again this year...ah! but next year...I will...
this year I wrote down on a recipe card and put it in my recipe box, the changes I want to make for next year. Less of everything.
I like the ham with the bone, or the semi boneless as it is called. There is a little part of me, now that I am older that just doesn't want to let go of the get more out of the meals idea. I just don't want to let go, I can make soup, which is of course what I did, I cooked that bone and meat down and it made a lovely broth, for ham and bean soup at a future date. Today would be a good day for soup as it is only 40 degrees. But it will be put in the freezer for the fall and winter.

Today.....
I've got spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove, I buy store sauce and doctor it up the way we like it. Homemade meat balls simmering gently in the sauce.

My Crochet basket sits nearby, it is full of the garment I am working on, have been working on for a few months now. I'm trying to make up a pattern, and have had to adjust some things and rip out rows and redo. I didn't make it long enough, the way I like it, so now the shape of it is done. Edging rows now to be added, and back to pattern documentation. I like the color name of the yarn   
"Rosebud", love it! it is by Hobby Lobby, and it is a Secret Soft.

I don't think the Virginia Blue bells are coming up in the wee garden,it seems they should have been up already, as they are a spring flower. But it appears the Alium I planted has come up, and there are flower buds on them, I planted blue and magenta, I like the name magenta...that isn't the color which was on the flower box. I remember that color from Crayola back in the day, and guess what? they still have it the box I have today.
