Ham was one of my mom's favorite company meal. I guess because it was quick
to fix.

To me, it seems like a lot of bother to prepare a ham. It's an awkward
piece of meat!

Nope. I have baked them. Very easy. Only problem is if you get one that
is too large and heavy. I threw my back out on one of those once.

Are you really so ignorant? One can say the same about many foods...
do you live on PB & J... no one lives on SPAM.

You threw your back out lifting a ham? OOOOF! What a pig.

What were you smoking? <G> I suppose it would depend on what type of
beef and how you cooked it with the broccoli. I occasionally buy chow
mein noodles just to snack on. :)

My Chinese friend has OCD, and has a problem with forgetting about
things i.e., he can't ever forget the smallest little thing. In my case,
I can't remember what I was cooking during high school. Can you? If so,
perhaps you have OCD.

What the hell are you bitching about this time? I'm sorry to have to
inform you but your knowledge of Spam is embarrassing. I won't waste 2
seconds of my time trying to educate you. Have fun baking those Spam
loaves!

Speaking of odd behavior, my wife sold her mom's condo this week and was
there removing everything from the unit. She said she went through all
the rooms touching the light fixtures because it was the last remnants
of her parents in that place. She said it was the switches they touched
every day. She kissed her hand and then touched the switches.

I can still see in my mind the first time I opened the door to her house
and was greeted by her step-mother and she told me in her broken English
to "go away." Of course, I didn't pay her no mind. Lots of memories of
that place for me too.
