Ham Salad with Peanut Dressing

Combine oil, peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sugar. Blend well. Place in a saucepan and heat until mixture is hot and bubbly.

Combine cucumber, onion and Romaine lettuce. Place Boston lettuce on serving plates, top with cucumber mixture. Place ham that has been heated in microwave, on top of lettuce. Spoon hot peanut dressing over ham. Sprinkle with peanuts.

A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force open a crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don't find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting.
