The lost check for DD's lunch money has been located. And yes, as I suspected, it was in her bag--but stuffed in a side pocket where she keeps snacks and hair clips. I'd get mad at her, but she clearly gets this wacky propensity to lose things from me.
I spent the morning cooking. A formerly close friend (does that make any sense?) has had a run of bad luck and I made her a big casserole of ham and scalloped potatoes which is one of her favorites. I've also roasted squash and carrots for soup and then delivered the casserole, got gas (ugh $50) and headed home. It's another weirdly warm day here. My car thermometer reads 52 degrees. Good for the heating bill, I guess.
Aha! Just as I suspected...

Ingredients:
1 pound fully cooked ham slice, 1/2-inch thick
5 cup thinly sliced potatoes
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
dash pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese,
Preparation:
Directions for scalloped potatoes
Cut ham in bite-size cubes. Place half of the potatoes in a greased, shallow, 2-quart baking dish. Cover with ham pieces. Top with remaining potatoes. Combine soup with milk, onion, green bell pepper, and ground black pepper; pour over potatoes. Dot with butter. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 1 hour. Remove covering; bake 30 to 45 minutes longer, or until potatoes are done. If desired, sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of scalloped potatoes the last 15 minutes of baking time.
Scalloped potatoes serves 6.
The cheese was fabulous.
