Made a canned ham tonight about three pounds. Cooked it in my small convection oven wrapped in tin foil. Was very lean and juicey. Also made frozen potato patties, broccoli and a salad. Been eating red pears for dessert they are so good.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Since I am still awake, and it's 12:30 (and officially Jan. 1!), thought I'd post what is for dinner tonight:
Fried chicken, a veggie tray, and chocolate cake for dessert.
