Yeah I always thought I hated ham until I had my first Honey Baked. Remember the key that was used to open the canned ham?
My grandmas, all 3 of them, had a key on a string at the kitchen sink. Apparently, a lot of cans needed them back in the day.

Needle nose pliers work too, if the key gets broken.

Can you tell we had the canned ham too? Krakus ham. DH thought I was nuts one year when I wanted to go nostalgic. Yea, we had a regular ham.

I decided to make a couple desserts.

Death by chocolate bundt cake is in the oven.

Then I'll make the pumpkin cheesecake.

I have peeled and cut 7 lbs of potatoes, they are in a pot of water in the fridge.

Cornbread is done for the dressing.

Pumpkin cheesecake is in the oven.

And once I rest up, I'm cleaning up what I have left in the kitchen and I'm not doing anything else.

My mom just came in. Fussing about everything.

Dad's been in the yard all day, but she wants to know why he isn't done and she wanted that carport cleaned off today.

Then she asked what I was making, she rolled her eyes and said there wasn't a point, no one would eat it.

She scoffed at the chocolate cake cooling on the table.

I told her the potatoes were peeled and soaking and the cornbread was made for her, she went off on how it should have been done tomorrow and how I probably messed it all up.

Me and my kids have cleaned this house from top to bottom, I've done the shopping, I've done everything I can to help.

All she has done is make a mess every evening and complain we haven't done something right.

I'm done.

She can do the rest herself.

I'm so sorry your Mom doesn't appreciate all you have done, Lily.

Has anyone ever been honest with her?

Told her, that she is not much of a cook ....and we'd be happy to do it.???????

confuse confuse confuse

I'd like to smack her. (Not really...I think Lily understands what I mean.)

If you don't enjoy doing it...let someone who enjoys it, have at it! Right?

I'm sad that she insists on doing it, Lily.

Holding a good thought, that you don't strangle her! wink

Oh, honey. Im so sorry. Just know that I feel your pain and that I'm sending you hugs...

Thanks.

This, too, shall pass.

after I make turkey noodle soup!

We do this too. Same day. If not then the very next day. Our dogs eat broth on their food so we put it in mason jars and use it for that. Also, we put in the sweet potato peels too. Our dogs love them. I make the mashed sweet potatoes about a week ahead of time and freeze them and then take them back out the night before.

We're having a really scaled down version. Not so much the food but the amounts.

Turkey and ham. Last year my crowd put away a whole turkey so this year we're doing two and a ham.

Mashed sweet and regular potatoes.

Dressing

Rolls

Apple, pumpkin, and pecan pie.

Chocolate cups with coffee filling.

Ditto. Know your other family members will enjoy all your hard work, and mom is just mad, mostly at herself, because she just can't do it all anymore.

Here they are.

The chocolate is extremely heavy. l'll dust it powder sugar Thanksgiving.

The pumpkin cracked a bit, but it's cheesecake, that sometimes happens. I may top it with whipped cream, or maybe not.

She never did do it all.

I try to remember that she is probably stressed taking care of her mom every day.

I feel for her.

You didn't say anything to anyone else that posted on this thread. I am still a member of this board and can post when and where I want to as long as I follow the rules. You really do enjoy making yourself look petty.

Hi Vette! I think of you often! I miss you too! I was going to email you the other day about something but then didn't.

Oh geez thanks furious

Really? Was thaat necessary? Talk about a cheap shot. Way to keep it klassy! You could have just ignored and moved on. Instead, you are choosing to stir a pot.

I agree, that was uncalled for.

Right? She blasts this board every chance she gets. No one here is immune.

jlbear71 · Guru

Oh, I have been around and have seen much stirring from both sides. Grow the hell up and ignore. Be the better person because the sniping makes that person look like the Azzhole.

jlbear71 · Guru

And yes, I am on the other board and have seen what both sides have done to the other. Don't pretend to be innocent.

Ohfour · Hooker

Her first post in more than 3 months. Her board is down. So trouble must be stirred.

jlbear71 · Guru

The only trouble I see is you. You started it on this thread and seem to be determined to keep it up not matter what. I don't see it on any other thread here tonight.

If there is **** on other boards, leave it there.

Ignore it. Stop baiting each other. That is for both sides.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

I'm not on the other board, all I saw was someone posting what their thanksgiving dinner was going to be.

Anyway. I'm doing ham which is about as boring as it gets :p (not counting all my delicious sides)

Lindley · Guru

All she did was post what she is having for thanksgiving, it was a fun thread and the comments put a damper on it. if you don't like someone just ignore them. I've seen the other board too and let's just leave it there.

Ham sounds good vette. Lily your desserts looks amazing!

My cheesecakes always crack too that's why I always put a topping on them. Usually sour cream or ganache.

Thank you.

If I can find some pretty strawberries I may pile some up in the middle of the chocolate bundt.

Lily, your desserts look so good! Makes me wish I could have some.

Strawberries will go really good with chocolate cake.

So DD made a Pumpkin Crisp tonight. She had made it at school. She did the whole thing including the dishes. We snuck a piece and it is awesome. She will be very proud tomorrow when all the family compliments it.

Haha when I used to do a paper route I got a Christmas ham, they just piled that thing right on top of the newspaper container with a big bow

NAOW · Vette's SS

Today I made the sweet potatoes, a pumpkin crumble cake, and a pecan pie cheesecake. Then I tossed a frozen pizza in the oven for dinner cuz I didn't feel like cooking anymore, lol.

OMG that made me laugh. I had a paper weight, have to say no one ever left me a ham or any other type of meat!

FNW · Guru

My brother worked for an aerospace company and they used to give each employee a ham at Christmas. He would give it to me because I would host Christmas Eve, and I'd cook it with an orange marmalade/brown sugar glaze and serve it for dinner. I didn't have a lot of money so his contribution was much appreciated!
