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.

Fried chicken, a veggie tray, and chocolate cake for dessert.
