So I am trying something new today. I am cooking a ham. I found my biggest pot. Which is actually a roaster and the ham still does not fit in in all the way. Now the roaster is on the burner on maximum. I also put the lid on. I googled how to cook the ham. Maybe having five kids is making me more domestic or something. This weekend is Serena's Daycare part 4. Or maybe it is spending more time in the kitchen so I can multitask more in the kitchen...
At any rate I thought I would share this first with my wonderbuddies. Serena is cooking a ham. Who is coming over for supper?

Step One of Cooking a Ham
1. Take off the plastic wrap
I considered leaving it on but decided to take it off because it might melt.

There are some people at the party. I'll ask them if they want to go to your place for supper. I always put the ham in the oven later and glaze it, serena.

One question though. What is glazing the ham? I have no icing at home?

Did you make scalloped potatoes, Serena? And do you have some Keen's hot mustard to go with the ham?

I made ravioli with the ham. The kids loved it. It was not as good as my mom's ham.
We did not put mustard on it. After you dish out five servings of something it is gone before you have time for ketchup or mustard or anything.

It must have been good if it is all gone.

It is not all gone. I froze half of it and the rest I will take for school sandwiches this. The kids did not have seconds on anything tonight though because we had ice cream at 4:00 PM so they were not that hungry and they are smart enough to "save up for dessert"
