I think......I'll do a ham for Friday......as in warming a fully cooked,  sliced, spiral  one.


I wish.......one day......in my lifetime.....I can take the whole month of December...off.


But.....you gotta eat.....and I do kind of enjoy.....some of the finer things in life.


Have.......a great "Hump Day".
