I don't know about you, but my Cat got his very own Christmas ham from me. Beats another catnip mouse.
We always had duck for special occasions but sadly, my Mom is sick and old and that probably won't ever happen again.

Best ham I have ever had comes from a small family owned meat market here in Yelm, they cure and smoke their own ham, bacon, pepperoni and jerky. They will wrap the ham in baking paper with instructions on cooking it in the paper.
The name of the shop is Stewarts, the main store is in Yelm, it's old and funky with sawdust on the floor, usually customers are lined up about four deep at the counter (take a number ticket please to be wasted on) and they have a space in the Olympia farmers market as well.

Going to friends home for Christmas dinner this year, they are providing the ham, I'm sure it will be delicious. We're bringing dessert, Apple pudding with brandy sauce (the Apple pudding is tasty but it is really just an excuse to have brandy sauce).

What is wrong with Tar Heel, NC? :confused3::laughing::laughing::laughing:
Smithfield Foods to Expand Its Tar Heel, NC, Plant | Pork Business
The plant is HUGE. I was shocked at how big it is when I first saw the place. You come around a curve in the road, and BAM!, three is the gigantic facility. I see hogs in trailers at least once a week that are traveling east and I assume heading for Tar Heel.
For those that do not know, people from NC are known as Tar Heels. I found it funny/interesting that there is actually a town with the name.
The Smithsfield pork producer used to confuse me because there is a Smithfield, NC as well as a Smithfieldd BBQ chain. Smithfield BBQ had its first store in Smithfield but the Smithfields pork producer has no linkage to either the BBQ restaurant or town, other than possibly supplying pork to the restaurant.
I THINK the hams we have bought locally, and from Costco, have been Smithfield, which were just as good but cheaper than Honey Baked.
Later,
Dan
