It's a picnic ham, or as Yogi Bear would say, "Hey BooBoo, it's a pickanick ham!" I don't have a pickanick basket in which to put my pickanick ham, though. This is probably verging on trivia that you don't really need or want to know, but I learned that a picnic ham is not a true ham. It's a faux ham, if you will. “Oh-oh yes, I’m the great pretender…oo-oo, oo-oo…pretending that I am a ham!” (Think that will be going through your head for a while? You’re welcome.) True hams come from the hind legs, and picnic hams come from the shoulder. They're smoked so that they taste like true ham. I got this one on sale a while back, and it smells good, so I think my faux ham will taste just dandy.
I'm watching golf, and although I don't think Tiger can pull this one out, I got to watch him sink an eagle putt, so that was cool! In general, his putting is off this Masters, though. I'm sure someone is going to be spending lots of time on the putting green in the coming weeks!
I've also been watching the little band of turkeys in the back yard. They've been hanging out in the yard all day, and it cracks me up. A couple of the hens took a dirt bath in the driveway; and a pair of toms have been strutting all over the yard. For a while, a third tom was chasing two of the hens through the trees. They've been very vocal, too, with lots of loud calls and an occasional good gobble. They seem to be very comfortable in our yard lately, so I hope they'll bring their babies around when they have them. They're so cute!
I was thrilled when I turned on CNN briefly while I was folding laundry, and heard that Captain Phillips has been rescued! He is safe and sound aboard a U.S. Navy ship. What I'm hearing initially is that he jumped overboard, and Navy SEALS got into a firefight with the pirates, killing three of them, and of course, rescued the Captain. Isn't that great? This is good news on the level of Captain Sullenberger landing his plane safely. I'm sure his family will always remember this Easter!
I'm getting back into my book, so I'm off to read while I wait for Ken to get home. Have a superb evening!
