Burnt Ham

You got to do what you got to do.

My mom's been kinda quarantined all by herself for quite a while now. It's a long story, but since my daughter works (considered essential) my daughter has been staying at my house, and so has my moms dog (moms/daughters dog just had puppies).

So, the first step was, we gave my mom Pepper, our dog, to stay with her and give her someone to talk to. Oh yea, of course we deliver food to her regularly, cookies and water and other stuff too...

And now on Easter, we made a burnt ham and had Easter dinner with her too, kinda. We stayed in screen room, while she was inside house on other side of screen door. We don't want to take a chance because my daughter still see's some "public" people. Better safe than sorry, so we're trying to do some social distancing with her.

She was able to eat and even visit with the puppies.

Looks good. My father used to say “charcoal is good for the teeth”. Glad you got to spend time with your Mom. You and she are blessed. God Bless.

Just glad to see everyone is still healthy. Great way to spend Easter with her. Bet she is bored to death. Them pups put a smile on her face.

So you take a perfectly good ham and burn it on purpose?
It does look good though.
:-)

Enjoy your mom while you can slab. I lost my mom in '94...Sure miss her.

Good job taking care of mom! Can’t never be to careful! I had burnt ham today but it wasn’t on purpose lol mom just cooked it a little long but that’s ok too got to spend the day with her!

The truest words. Especially on days such as this, what I would give for one more home cooked meal at my boyhood home. The memories, though, will always be there.

Looks good

Enjoyed the pic of her and the pups. :highfive

Burning the ham was not on purpose. But you know what, it actually might have been the best tasting ham I've ever had. And the time with mom was short, this virus thing has to go. We need a vaccine quick! We just gotta get back to normal.

Nothing wrong with burnt ham! Looks good to me! Happy Easter to you and your family.

Happy Easter to the Ed Moes family and to the rest of the CDC family. Mom is looking very well Ed... and honestly, that's the way I like my ham cooked for ham & egg biscuits.
Hopefully this Covid 19 thing won't drag out much longer... and I know Mom is sick of being cooped up. Some are talkin' another month or more.
Can she not even go out on the boat dock and wet a hook... maybe catch a few slabs?

She's not on the water, I am. And I really don't want to bring her here because of my daughter still working and staying at my house. We could have done things different and just brought my mom to my house, and left my daughter at moms house, but because of the new puppies it would not work out.

Bet she was happy to lay eyes on everybody including those pups.

Great, y'all are blessed.

Hey - this has nothing to do with fishing!! Someone tell the boss! Oh wait, he started it. LOL!! So glad you were able to spend time with Mon on Easter! And that ham looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing!!

We were talking about my Mom yesterday after seeing Slab’s post and again this morning. My wife and I shared some good laughs. She succumbed to a viral infection (MERS) in November 2018. I miss here everyday but God blessed us with 91 years and although she was severely disabled with RA since 1958 she was a woman of strength, conviction, and faith. I can remember her struggling to take a young son 7 or so years old to Dow Lake to fish. It would take her 15-20 minutes to get from a parking lot 25 yards to sit in a chair just so I could fish.

I think of Mom daily but posts like this really jog memories. Sorry for making such a lengthy post but thanks Ed.

God Bless.
