I got a bright idea to get a head start on cooking the Christmas Ham yesterday by reading the cook book instead of reading what the label said. When the smoke alarm went off I discovered my mistake. The store had put the priceing label over the cooking instructions and all I saw was ready to cook, so I cooked it as if it was a fresh ham and not a pre cooked ham. It now looks like a lump of coal and smells worse. We might salvage about 1 pound of good meat from a 6 pound ham. When I went back to the store and told the butcher what I had done, he laughed and reached into the case and handed me a 14 pound ham telling me Merry Christmas and then told me how to cook it. That was nice of that store to do that sence I never asked them to replace it because it was my mistake.

So what time is dinner Ed? Hope you and your family have a great Christmas. Go easy on that ham now, and take it out before it looks like an anchor.

Yea Ed, I had some bad luck myself. I cooked a 8lb. prime rib and it turned out great but we only had 10 people over for dinner so we had about 3lb. left. Now I will have to eat it all week as leftovers, poor old Bud. :wink: Bud.

My mother-in-law cooked an 8 lb. standing rib roast again this Christmas, and once again it came out fantastic. I can't imagine having anything else for Christmas anymore!
