A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[The Wifey]

Thanks Dia, maybe it will be in the cards when I am employed.

Your ham made me think of a story I heard once about a woman that always cut off part of the ham and cooked it separate from the rest of the ham. Her daughter did the same thing because she followed her mother's example.

And her daughter did the same after her. Finally the Daughter's husband asked her grandmother why all the women did that. It turns out, the first woman always did that simply because her pan wasn't large enough and she had to do that in order to get it all cooked. The daughter and granddaughter just followed suit.
