No, but if I ate meat, I'm sure it would be good.

Honey baked hams are expensive to buy!! Go for it.

Pyromania comes to mind for some reason Polly. While it sounds good it also sounds like an awful lot of work. And it does sound good.

I'm thinking about this too. I'm going for easy this year and this looks easy.

Yep, easy and the name is cute.

Are you just cooking for dh and the kids or all your family? The MIL?

**frugalfranny** · 12-06-2010, 02:32 AM

No, but it sounds good.

Did you read the reviews on it?

I always check those to see what sort of changes they might have made.......really saved me when I did the baklava.

**pollypurebred39** · 12-06-2010, 02:38 AM

That's a good idea FF. Duh! Never even thought to check.

Hey then, I might have helped you!!

I will even make some notes if it is a change I will be making.

I was working from about three recipes when I did that baklava.....it was like putting a puzzle together!!

I saw that it had reviews........so you are in luck!

Be sure to let us know how it turns out if you do it.

Nope, not MIL, at least not Christmas supper. I will be taking a dish over on Christmas eve for their supper.

Christmas supper at our home is my side of the family. Last year was the first year I excluded all the donkeys. Everyone who made it clear that the only reason the were coming was for the huge party, the grand food (before DH was laid off we used to really go all out) and the plentiful gifts got X'ed off our party list. Turned out to be a rather small affair

Sad when you realize the people you love, your family and friends were only out for the loot.

This year I X'ed all the people off my gift list who did not bother to say thank you for their gift last year. Sad to say but my Christmas gift list for this year became much smaller too. *sigh*

So it will only be the people who really love us at our supper table over the holidays from now on. There will be 12, counting us, and maybe a few strays who need some cheer and are alone this holiday.

You Did!

I will FF. It sure looks simple, and simple but good is what I'm going for this year.

Well move over and count me the 13th. Won't eat your ham so there will be more for everyone, just pass the mashed potatoes please.

Seriously, I don't blame you and I too would rather get rid of any bs in my life I could.

Donkeys, love it.

I dont care for ham but the pumpkin recipe had me drooling!

**tervsforme** · 12-06-2010, 08:03 AM

I'm not much of a ham person, but I might make that Pumpkin Pie for Christmas myself. It looks so good. Thanks for posting the link!

**Darlene** · 12-06-2010, 08:14 AM

I've never tried either recipe but they look like keepers to me.
I too love sites where people give reviews of recipes so I can see what's worked and get some helpful hints.

Awesome how you are surrounding yourself with love Polly.

We all are worth nothing less.
