It was the Boston Massacre redux.

And I know we Sox fans haven't cornered the market on woe.
Cubs, Vikings....the list goes on and on.

I'll be watching, and hoping.
And believing.

And making mac and cheese to go with my ham!
And corn bread.
And "boston" baked beans, B&M, which aren't bad at all!
And I'll heat up some whole green beans from the freezer.
With a tossed salad.

There will be enough hearty sides that I'm not worried about there not being
a lot of ham.

I believe it is tonight and I can hear the Fat Lady practicing her
song. ( The late afternoon game is scheduled for tomorrow, if the
Red Sox win tonight. I expected so much from their pitching rotation.
I should have expected the worst. The Curse lives on.

Depending upon imagination the variety can be infinite... and there is no
reason one can't prepare mayonnaise with olive oil.


POTATO SALAD WITH OLIVES, TOMATOES, AND CAPERS

A popular salad on the island of Pantelleria.

2 1/2 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed

1/4 cup very thinly sliced fresh basil
2 tablespoons drained capers
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, quartered

and oregano in bowl; mix into salad. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with
eggs and serve.

Green Beans and apple sauce (or baked apple slices w/ cinnmon) scream Ham
steak for me! Ooh, or you could do glazed carrots... cook until al dente,
throw a little butter on them, splash of lemon juice, sprinkle of 5-Spice
Chinese Powder and a splattering of honey... YMMV.

My ham steak was accompanied by canned green beans, homemade scalloped

It's pretty darned good! And now I can't find my notes------whoops,
