Thanksgiving Ham

November 26, 2007

It's been a long time since I've posted, but we have been enjoying some quality time with daddy since he's been off for a week. This year, Vince thought we needed to cook a ham that had been in our fridge for about a year. We did take out the ham a couple days before and Vince searched out the perfect glaze recipe and the time it would take to cook a raw ham. Every recipe said around three hours (~7lb. ) or 30 minutes per lb. Since this was a 21 lb. ham, Vince thought 3.5 hours should git-r-done in time to take it over to his parents house for lunch. Bless his heart!!!! When we stuck the thermometer in, the dial didn't even move. So we wrapped up the ham and took it to the Avila's and cooked it some more. At 5:30, the ham was done!!!! Thank goodness Maggie insisted on having a turkey or we would have had to open up a can of spam. But, I must say it was an awesome ham...muy savarossa! We will have pics about our day at Crown Center for the Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting later, but here are some pics Kerrie took of the girls when she came over to babysit. They played beauty parlor, dogs, and restaurant! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
