Quoting glowinthedark:“ OMG ladies... I forgot to mention what sent me into my deep cleaning spree today. I invited the mothership ... [snip!] ... our new place since we moved in in October. So, how easy are hams to make? And are they less gross to handle than a turkey?”

Way less gross. They are already cooked, so you don't have to worry about it not being fully cooked. You only put it in the oven to heat it up, and then there's usually a glaze to put on. No stuffing, no seasoning, etc. Really easy! I am making one Christmas Day when my family comes over. My mom is bringing lasagna. YUMMMMM

Quoting glowinthedark:“ I'm pretty sure the grocery store has those spiral cut ones, that's what my mom always made. My other ... [snip!] ... pork chops, Terry likes pork chops. I need something that I can make sides to share with the meatless dish I'm making for me.”

I have a recipe for Garlic mashed root vegetables. It calls for chicken broth and sour cream though. Can you do substitutes? I can send it to you tomorrow in a PM or on FB. I'd have to type it in.

Sarah, if you do a ham...Just get a spiral sliced one, a can of pineapple rings, some whole cloves, a jar of maraschino cherries, brown sugar, dijon mustard, and black pepper.

They come with a glaze too.

So you open up the pineapple rings, mix the juice with a cup of brown sugar, a tspn of pepper and a tbspn mustard. Then stick little cloves all over the ham, and put the pienapple rings all over it too, sticking them on with cloves. In the holeof each one put a cherry. Then poor your home made glaze all over it and bake it   then follow the directions for the other glaze...it will come out super fancy and look like you worked really hard but it's easy!

I already have everything but the ham, cherries, and pineapples so I might do this one!

Lori send me the recipe, I can use sour cream now and I can use veggie broth.

OMG. I am so hungry and craving ham now.

Will do! I can do it tomorrow. Its at work because I printed it there and forgot to bring it home! But I've made it a million times and its yummyyyyy!

There is some commercial for a kids movie right now where this kid feeds a piece of bacon to a pig, I almost puked.

I'm not even vegetarian or vegan and I find that disturbing.

It's angry letter writing worthy

I am making that ham and those veggies, I need the recipe for those veggies Lori. Sounds so good and so longas I figure out a sub maybe soy sour cream my dh can eat it. (darn restricted diet)

They sell it! It's by Tofutti and it's called "Better Than Sour Cream". You really can't tell that it's not dairy.

Reminds me of those boost mobile commercials with the pigs eating the ham. Wrong just wrong.

I read an article about cannibal animals in marketing last summer.

I will hide it so he doesn't see what I am using

All animals are cannibals if they are omnivores or carnivores. I once had two rats, went to work, came home to one in the cage and the tail and a tooth in a hair ball left of the other.  

It only grosses us out because we're conditioned to think it's gross, I know... but I think it's different for it to happen in nature/on it's on than for us to feed an animal.

Which is another reason why chicken grosses me out, male chicks are ground up and put in the chicken feed!
