I’ve subsisted on food for the better part of my 26 years on this planet. I started with Gerber's baby food, and have since graduated to solids, which is a blessing, because if I had to eat one more can of mashed green beans, I might have gone on a nationwide killing spree.
The first meal I am going to post about is what I had for dinner tonight. Glazed HAM. That's right. Though raised Jewish, I love a good ham. How can you not? Why would God give us this amazing animal that provides so much for us, asks for nothing but slop, and not want us to butcher it, drain its blood, and consume its meat?
My all time Favorite Simpson's episode "Lisa the Vegetarian" puts it succinctly:
Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you
saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about
bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: Yeah right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

Thing I ate: Glazed Ham
Side item thing I ate: Mashed Sweet Potato
After getting out of Work around 4:30, I got home and through the ham in the oven (2hrs at 280*), and about one hour later I quartered the sweet potatoes and dropped them in a boiling pot of water. About 1:45 after throwing the ham into the oven I glazed it with the little pouch of glaze they give you.
Verdict:
Ham 87/100
Sweet Potatoes: 89/100
The ham was pre-sliced and came out nice, I saved the run off juices and have been eating the rest of the carcass over the week. Ham in omelets, Ham sandwiches, ham steak and eggs, so the overall grade for the ham goes up becuase of its versatility.
The Sweet potatoes were so good they got finished that night so the ham has been lonely in the fridge.
