| I purchased an 11 pound, spiral-sliced ham. 8 ounces was "glaze" which I pitched. Another 10 ounces was bone. The rest of it was sandwich meat and provided flavor for bean soup. At $2.99 a pound it beat the "Deli Sliced Meat" at $10.99 a pound by a country mile. |

Hunting rifle magazines? Painted yellow so you can find them when dropped?
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteAnd I found a use for those dried-out Sharpie pens that seem to accumulate.
Oh yeah. I'm glad someone answered this correctly (Remington pump - auto sporter ?). I was going to guess safety flags but I was wrong.
DeleteGood idea but l am inclined to avoid rifles with clips due to this very reason.
DeleteSavage Axis magazine for .350 Legend. Between $40 and $55 when you can find them.
DeleteIf a fellow wanted to start a metal-bending business, he could do far worse than to make knock-offs of magazines for low-volume rifles.
It is not a clip. It is a magazine.

Does the spiral cut ham freeze well? Lunch meat in one pound packs are the right size to get used before they turn.
ReplyDeleteI've been getting sliced ham in 2 lb packs from the meat area in Aldi, $5/lb is a good deal as it's cheaper and we usually use it up before it goes bad. Usually.
Ham is on sale this week for 59 cents lb, but I don't want all of that sodium.....................
ReplyDeleteTough choice to make.
Can you rinse or soak it to reduce sodium? I know when w turkey is brined, much of the sodium can be removed that way.
DeleteYears ago I heard a woman say that if a ham soup was too salty, you had used too much ham.

This meat lump is also on sale this week so I will probably get this and season accordingly :

Ham is a variable thing here. We like it in small quantities, but not enough to purchase it very often.
ReplyDeleteLocal supermarket: spiral cut ham: $2.27, bone in butt; $1.87, whole fryers; $1.28/lb. Food convenience cost money.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those clay pot baker things... whole chicken, on top of the wood stove all day... hard to beat!
Deletesome sort of a magazine in the pic.
ReplyDeleteHoliday ham: gift from $20,000+ of Vet services. & $100,000+ of feed purchase.
ReplyDeleteNot a bargain, but we appreciate our vendors.
A kettle of pea soup as we speak.

Parents every year had a Honey Baked Ham and I followed along when I took over the holidays. But hadn't had it since I moved and no stores were around. Someone on another blog mentioned buying one and the cost. Minimum for smallest was excess of $80+. Nope no ham this year. Along with daughter who has a pork allergy. But it made the best bean soup I ever had.
ReplyDeleteWe used to buy a ham shank several times a year. Cut off large pieces and freeze, to use for meals later. Simmer the bone with little bits of ham to split soup, then freeze or can the soup in portions. Also makes good sandwiches or ham salad. It used to cost about a buck a pound. Ham steak prices, or quarter hams, are expensive, but we don’t use much now.

Split pea soup;: I missed my typo above. Better than canned commercial versions, cheap, and very filling. I need to make more, I miss having it.
DeleteHam is cheap, still. Better than paying $15 for a cheeseburger at a restaurant. Even homemade cheeseburgers beat restaurant prices.

Mmmmm HAM!!!
ReplyDeleteWe frequently by hand and I make soup when we're done eating what we want.
Beans and carrots and celery and canned tomatoes
I ran out of canning drawers so I broke out the seal a meal.
I reuse small rectangular deli meat containers to freeze rectangles of soup and then seal them in the pouches.
Yep, ham, along with everything else is going UP! But buying a whole ham is a lot cheaper!
ReplyDeleteWhy have ham when you could have WHAM!? How many people remember that old movie?
ReplyDeleteirontomflint
Mr Blandings builds his dream house! I may be partial to that movie because I’m a builder! But it’s hilarious!
DeleteHam cut into slabs and sautéed in 1 cup of pineapple juice with pineapple rings and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
ReplyDelete"A fair and impartial justice system protects the accused from their victims"
ReplyDeleteI would counter that a fair justice system would protect the people from plunder and rapine. That said, nothing is as it seems. He was involved in an investigation and knew too much.
But we can still celebrate karma. As the number one insurance company in Rejections! and needing to employ AI because people couldn't be evil enough to deny enough claims . . . well he had it coming.
