What to do with leftover ham?

Whenever we buy a pack of lunchmeat ham, there's always a slice or two left at the end of the pack.  It's not enough to make a sandwich with or really use in any recipe.  Celia and Charlie will gladly eat what's left by itself, but I also like to cook with it.  Here's a really easy pea recipe for you to use with your leftover bit of ham. We had it for dinner tonight.  Celia told me even the juice from the peas was delicious.  Good thing, since my meat surprised us by not being done when we started eating: the peas ended up being our main dish!

Easy Peasies
Ingredients:
1/3 Cup Chopped Ham
1 Can Sweet Peas
1 TBSP Dried Chopped Onion
1 TBSP Flour

Do not drain peas.  Add ham, peas and dried onion to a pan.  Bring to a boil.  Stir in flour to make peas a little bit creamier.  Continue cooking until juice thickens up a bit.
