The Ham: Part II

I made my second ham last night. Ehhh... it wasn't nearly as good as the first. Same recipe as before, but this time I added some ground cloves because it said to put whole cloves in my diamond slices on the surface of the ham - and I couldn't get the container open. It was a bad idea - it also tasted too mustardy, so I wonder if last time I only used half what it called for and forgot?

I guess we ate the pig's butt... ew.

Oh, well. It was still pretty good. :-D

My mess.

Mmmm!

The brown-sugary sauce - WAY too much, and I couldn't even taste the orange juice over the MUSTARD. And the CLOVES. Emphasis on the 'MUSTARD' and 'CLOVES'.

Ham ham ham. I used my camera for some of these pictures and stole my sister's for others, that is why there is such a difference in quality. *Sigh* One day when I am rich I will have a nice camera... hah.

Today I had my FAV for breakfast, Cascadian Farms granola with blueberries and rice milk. And cinnamon sugar cookie coffee! NUM!

For lunch I had PB&J, fruit and veggies with my nanny kids. And a soy milk "Kidz Dream Smoothie". They are a little weird, but not bad. My nanny mom loves me, she stocked up on Almond Milk! I don't think it was for me specifically, but still... :-)

For a snack, this afternoon I've eaten an apricot, an orange, and a piece of fudgesicle pie. Technically it is a frozen pudding pie, but it becomes like a Fudgesicle - SO good! I forget that rice milk won't set in pudding, so when I make this dumb mistake, I have to freeze it and make fudgesicles or pie. The pudding mix has some cornstarch, but no milk = happy Lexi!

I also made cookies with the kids - we used whole wheat flour. I said BLECH, but the kids liked it. They say they like everything, though, so I don't trust them. Cookies aren't supposed to taste healthy ;-) Tomorrow we will frost them and then I hope they will be better!

So, needless to say, I took in some egg and butter this afternoon... can't not sample dough and warm cookies, even if it does taste really... whole.

Tonight I'm going to use up my tofu, and kind of do what I did the other night - tofu, soy sauce, and veggies, but this time I'm making it in soup form! I'm excited!
