Ham Hock












My sister lives with three hockey players. Although she is three years my junior and I have never backed down from a sisterly brawl in the past, I do now. She's gotten real mean and extra violent, she just told me about a house organized event, girl fights 2008, where she ended up at the end of a 15 minute fizzight sitting on a girl's back and punching her in the head. no thank you.
I will take her newly acquired VHS collection though, 100 Thunderous Hits and Hockey Fights. Premium video montage. As the narrator of Hockey Fights says "Hockey Fights are an important part of hockey. It is difficult to fight on ice skates." Its impressive, so much punching that turns into hugging that turns into punching. One guy did a cartwheel from gettin' checked (that's body checked).
I'm also a genius at making up answers to hockey trivia. (where is he from? "Canada")

Easter Ham, I like mine a little cold, or warm with lots of Dijon. Its about as official as a referee wit a whistle. BAM! Along with the ham and the hockey is the left overs. Talk about a money saver, having mom and dad pack a basket full of ham, cookies, Midwestern casserole and possibly a Schlitz or two (crosses fingers!) or three guarantees me a penny pinchin week full of d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s ham sandwiches. There are a lot of other things you can do with ham but I have little to no urge to move beyond a lightly buttered piece of toast with ham, dijon, and if I got it, a piece of cheese, preferably swiss.

I plan to try waffled ham sandwiches.

My apologies to those who can't go home for the weekend, it is truly a luxury. But I promise, on the integrity of this blog, that I will not take it for granted.

  1. Going home is probably the best way to acquire a weeks worth of food for sure. However, my haul was not so grand this week: 2 vitamin waters, a wheel of cheese, banana bread mix and a half full carton of milk. Really though, its probably the best reason to go home these days...
