Is it time for a report????
We came home to a wondrous smelling house, indeed.  And Certain Man carved the ham while I fried the sunday taters and the girls got the rest of the things on the table.  I had made what we call “Grandma Schultz’s Vegetables” to go with the fried potatoes and ham, and we also had an orange cottage cheese salad and deviled eggs.    The ham was everything that I had hoped.  So moist and it tasted good.  It seemed like the family really enjoyed it, and even Eldest Daughter caught some smidgens when she stopped here to pick up her mock ham that was baking in my oven.(Since my oven was not in use on this Sunday, she decided to bring something here to bake since her time bake is not working.)  (And no, her mock ham wasn’t the wondrous smell. Unfortunately, Certain Man’s Wife made a mistake when she had set the oven for her and had the oven to go off at 1:30 instead of 12:30.  Since the oven is programed by the stop time and how long the stuff is supposed to bake, it had barely started when we walked through the door from church.  We had to turn up the oven and pray that everything would get done in a timely fashion.  It did!!!)  When all was said and done, there was no room left for the apple pie that I had made last night.  Maybe by mid-afternoon someone will decide that it is time for dessert and it will still get eaten.  Right now, I’m too full (and too sleepy) to even write straight.  I think I will go take a nap.
         Thanks, Mamajoye for the recipe.  I love to try recipes if someone else will try them first, and then tell me how it turned out.  Pouring Mug root bear over ham with pineapple and brown sugar is something my fur brain would never have thought of in a million years.  But it really did turn out fine.  Thanks again~  Mary Ann

  1. So pleased that it turned out well.  Been so long since I tasted meat, it even made me hungry.    And I’ve never been one to be terribly crazy about ham … but there you have it!

  2. Ham ’twas good.Thanks for the use of your oven. It’s not that the time bake doesn’t work, I think it’s something in the thermostat that make sit hard to regulate temp. Something like that.Yu You:)~Christina

  4. Your ham sounds lovely,I am thinking I have everything on hand to try fixing that. I am wondering about the vegetables “Gramdma Schultz’s vegetables”. What does that consisit of? *hinting for recipe* Sorry I don’t want to burden you & make you sorry you mentioned food LOL. My friend Yvonne is blind and she is a wonderful cook. She just puts together whatever and it is marvelous. “Course nothing ever tastes the same way twice” Yvonne jokes. From Yvonne I have learned if you know some of the ingredients you usually can figure it out. Several of my dearest friends have major handicaps and they all use humor to cope and it inspires me. Have a good day!

  6. On the dinosaur comment….I calls ’em like I sees ’em!  Facts must be faced!  LOL  I do remember that weekend Sarah and I babysat for Chrissy.  It was called to mind recently when her profile pic was one of her at about the age she was then.  She was the CUTEST little tyke!
