So I am standing in Ralph's the night before Easter and looking at the plethra of ham options lined up and trying to choose. I looked at the small, deboned, defatted, ham that would be adequate for me, Sarah, and Kelly. Picked it up, put it down (it was almost $10)... then a woman zoomed into my peripheral vision, waving a sales ad, asking where she could have the $.88 ham. What! There it was 9lbs of fatty, bone-in, real ham for the same price as my lil' bitty baby ham. Well, who can walk away from a bargain. So here is it my giant ham and the inspiration for our week of ham leftover recipes which have been surprisingly tasty.
