i been waiting on this my whole life

we found a real ham shoulder in the grocery store today.

i boiled it and baked it and we had it for dinner and i was instantly swept back to sunday dinners at my gramma's house. ham and scalloped potatos and peas. she always poured a can of ginger ale over the ham right before serving it.

i wish finding a shoulder of ham- a real shoulder, i mean- wasn't such a hard thing to do. so old fashioned, and so full of memories, everyone needs some good ham once in awhile.

[god, did i really just write an entire blurb on how awesome ham is? seriously].
