Jane Snow hams it up after Christmas

After pork loining her way through Christmas with sushi restaurant owner and husband Tony, former BJ food writer Jane Snow hams it up for those who read her See Jane Cook blog.

Jane tells how her post-Christmas meal involved enough ham to satisfy Tony and three teenage boys. That's a lot of ham!

Jane had a good suggestion about leftover holiday ham. Writes Jane:

"The food-safety experts say we have three to five days to use up ham after it has been baked and returned to the refrigerator. Freezing leftover ham is a no-no among gourmands because the texture suffers (it can become mushy). I think mushy ham is better than no ham, though, so go ahead and freeze it. If the texture bothers you, use the thawed ham in soups and casseroles."
