We have an 18 pound ham in our oven! It came wrapped in burlap-like stuff with the instructions written on it for various styles of cooking. After being soaked in water overnight, it was placed in the oven at 300 degrees at 10:30 am. We hope by carefully following the instructions, it will be ready for consumption tonight and many a meal to come. Cookbook, here we come. Any fantastic recipes out there?
Speaking of fantastic recipes, remember the recipe I got from Carol for Spanish Creme? Well, I am going to make it tomorrow. Everyone should love it as it is benignly without fat or carbs... besides tasting GREAT.
The new mattress and box spring came today delivered by two very accomodating young men from Macy's department store. They delivered it within the time-frame allowed and were very polite. They were competing for two tickets to the Super Bowl so they want us to call in and say how OUTSTANDING they were. I can do that, as they really were outstanding!
I now have done three different styles of dumplings on three consecutive days. Today was the best and I did the simplest recipe.. the one on the bisquick box. Yummmmm. I am retiring the chicken soup, however, as three days with the same lunch seems excessive. George is exceedingly patient and said the soup was the best today!
Take care. We are having chilly but preasant weather. How about you?

the weather in japan is unseasonably warm, which is refreshing because there is no central heating in japan.
things have been hyper-ultra-super-busy on this end. i have been applying to graduate schools for analytical chemistry while trying to prepare for my 18 day trip to borneo. i leave in a couple days, and things are starting to get stressful. i can't wait to be on that plane!
happy holidays!
p.s. where are you?
Heavy fog. slight coating of snow on the roofs of buildings I look down on. The snow has little chance of staying arund in our mild weather. It's Minnesota after all. Fran
