I live alone, but I do cook a bit. I usually make the effort to make a nice dinner for myself on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last night it was ham, potatoes au gratin, green beans, and sparkling cider. I’ll have leftovers for several days, and bean-and-ham soup and freeze most of it. I’ll probably finish it off in February.

At least that was the plan. I ordered a bone-in ham, but they may have given me boneless by mistake. Not sure what I’ll do for soup.
