Hawaiian Ham Sandwiches

My family L.O.V.E.S. this recipe from my mother-in-law:

24 Hawaiian rolls cut almost in half
12 slices ham (quartered)
8 slices Swiss cheese (cut in thirds)
 
Place a slice of cheese between 2 pieces of ham and place on roll.   
Place on a Pammed baking sheet.
 
1 stick butter (melted)
1T mustard
1T finely minced onions
1T poppy seed
1t Worcestershire sauce
 
Combine remaining ingredients and spoon over sandwiches.  Bake  at  
350• for 15 minutes.

Black Eyed Peas for New Years Good Luck

One large bag of dried black eyed peas
1/4 or 1/2 pound of ham (I used turkey ham because it was on sale)
1 tsp of minced garlic

Rinse beans. Cover the beans with 1" to 2" of water and soak in a glass bowl overnight. Watch them because they might soak up all the water--in which case you need to add more water!

In the morning, add the garlic, ham, beans and their water to a crock pot. Throw in some Kosher salt (a small handful--maybe 3 tablespoons?) and turn on high for three or four hours. After that, switch it to low until you are ready to eat.

Serve with corn bread (we used Corn Kits) and some kind of a green vegetable (I think we used bagged fresh spinach).

Yield-10-15 servings.
