I did it! I cooked the ham
I got from food bank last week today. As ask a going to cook this ham
are warm it up since supposedly it's already cooked, Christmas Eve
but then the apartment complex folks at the spontaneous potluck ham
dinner. And then we had the leftovers from that ham dinner the next
day on Christmas. However I had thawed out the ham and I figured I'd
better use it or lose it.Possibly, truth be told, I may have been a
little bit intimidated because this was a whole ham! The ham we fixed
for the apartment complex was about the same size and fed 7 to 10
people twice with two plates that were taken home afterward. What was
I go to do with the whole ham, holy SMOKED HAM.
So little after 12
o'clock, just before Terry Gross and FRESH AIR I cut my hand out of
the mesh took off the tinfoil wrapping/to the plastic wrap and threw
it in the roaster I got a couple weeks ago. The ham almost fit but I
couldn't put the lid on so I end up making a tent tinfoil – –
that's what you're supposed to do right? I thought about using a
little packet of glaze but then said screw it all just be happy to
get this thing heated up and packaged and frozen. I mean really all I
wanted really was the bones that I could use to make ham and beans.
But the ham is free, to me, courtesy of the food bank. But I have the
lose? Soon, I was intoxicated with the smell of ham radiating from My
oven. The odor was quite intense.
While all this was going
on I was actually washing clothes and trying to clean the apartment a
little bit. My son and his wife were coming over may and I did not
want to look too helpless. Need help with finding my printer actually
helping my computer find the printer before I have to print kids
letters come the first of the month our first of the year holy cow
and New Year's, and I'm not ready. In Mark and Kristy got here They
jumped in and helped clean the kitchen which desperately needed their
attention. I was so glad because there is someone to help me lift the
ham out of the oven. I believe I've written before about how
sensitive my smoke alarm is and usually when I open up the oven In
the heat Invariably sets off the smoke alarm driving me crazy.Mark
worked on my computer and Kristy did a great job on the kitchen and
they lifted the ham out of the oven. I really wanted them to have a
portion of the ham just because they're so much of it but they left
before I could start deboning the beast. I cut up 3 quart bags of ham
that I threw in the freezer and then I put the bone in a gallon bag
and put in the freezer which I plan to make human beings this
weekend… Maybe.
