I haven't posted much lately because I was traveling a lot, first to New Orleans to visit my daughter, and then an emergency visit to my parents in W. Palm Beach, FL. My father got out of the hospital Xmas eve, and we planned a big dinner for Xmas day, inviting all the family, my brother's in-laws who also live in the same subdivision and even the Cardiologist who was in charge of my father's case. My husband drove down from Tampa. He asked if he could bring something, and I suggested a Honeybaked Ham (my kids love it.) Anyway, he went to the grocery instead, and bought a 12 lb. spiral sliced honey ham and brought it. So we served turkey and ham and lots of fixing and had a big meal. It wasn't technically a Christmas dinner since we are all Jewish, but the foods were pretty Christmas-y. Anyway,....my mother told me tonight that she's been telling all her friends and neighbors that we had a spiral sliced honey ham for dinner and they all say they've never heard of eating that! What a clever and creative idea! It sounds so delicious! And I'm thinking, a ham? They've never thought of serving a ham? Of course, they are all Jewish, but probably none of them are kosher.
