What more detail could you possibly need?

Your culinary imagination and inventiveness are truly awe-inspiring.

I know. I watched like one episode of Alton Brown's "Good Eats" and was like, "I now know how to cook everything."

Except okra. I fucking hate that shit.

But I don't cook. We got one of them, and ya know what Imma do to it? Knife. Belly. Done.

Thanks Johnny but George would probably be more interested in eating my little dogs...that would be bad.

Instead, keep back enough for some sandwiches, dice some up into your pea soup (I'll give you an easy crock pot recipe next time I go to the kitchen) then take the rest, dice it up into cubes, and divide it into half pound portions (or perhaps quarter pound, you'll get the idea when you see it in the bag). Put each portion into a ziplock, and submerge the open bag into water, keeping the very top above water. Basically, just push as much air out as you can. Now close it up, toss it in the freezer, and next time you make omlettes, sandwiches, soup, fried rice, or whatever else you feel like adding ham to, all you gotta do is defrost.

You'll use it up in no time and be wishing you'd made a ham twice as big. Key is not getting sick of it.

I will dice some up and freeze it, that sounds like a good idea. Then I can cook it with beans, or eggs, or with scalloped potatoes.
