Well everyone - that leftover dish is scrumptious.  Cheryl you should try it.  Cook about 10oz elbow macaroni in salted water till al dente. Strain and then add all the following.  A Can of mushroom soup, 1 cup milk, 2 cups grated cheese, 2 cups of chopped ham.  I also sprinkled a little Tabasco and pepper in the mixture because we like to kick everything up a notch.  Anyhow stir it all together, put into a greased pyrex dish, sprinkle with Italian bread crumbs and a little more grated cheese - and bake @ 350 for 45 minutes.  Simple and delicious.<br /><br />Carmen - sorry to hear about your job.... sending prayers your way.  You are so talented - that poem is excellent.
