Ham...

For Thanksgiving Dinner up at Dave's in Washington, Nic made a ham.  After returning to Salt Lake I found myself caving it, and I remembered a couple years ago getting one for a good deal after some holiday.  I don't remember which.  So I decided to go buy one.  They were three bucks a pound, and each was 7lbs+. I wondered if $21 was reasonable, given I'm trying so hard to be frugal, living off savings as I am.  I decided to do it.

So I have been eating it for two meals a day for four days, since Sunday.  I cut off all the spiral cut stuff, and froze the bone and the rest.  I've made it through all the spiral, which I estimate as 4lbs.  Now I'm going to make a white bean soup out of the bone and the rest of it.  I suspect I'll be eating that for at least one meal for the next three days.  All in all, I think eating for a week on $29 (the ham and the soup stuff) was a pretty decent deal.  But I probably won't eat any more ham for a couple more years.
