pig: it's what's for breakfast, midmorning snack, & lunch

I have a little tub of romesco sauce sitting in my fridge, courtesy of my stepmom, who made a batch and gave me some. I don't know what romesco sauce is, exactly, but it's delicious, and I've spent the morning walking into the kitchen, opening the refrigerator door, taking out the romesco sauce, and dipping things in it. So I can tell you romesco sauce is delicious on roasted asparagus, individual spinach and arugula leaves (rolled into little tubes!), radishes, toast, and the end of my finger. But romesco sauce on the special ham will be my undoing (I write that as if I'm not already undone): salty, smoky, spicy, garlicky, delicious.

Someone please come and take this ham away.

  1. If you share your ham with me I will send a photo of my refrigerator.

  2. It's a deal. The ham's gotta go soon, though, or there won't be any left (a scary proposition when you know how much there was).

  4. When Char goes to penny cluse she always orders exta bacon, sausage and ham....when the waitress is just out of earshot, she says in a low and menacing voice... "die piggies, die!"

    Your ham thing reminded me of this.

  5. The littlest sass once went to Penny Cluse and ordered a Coke and a side of bacon, which I thought was very Elvis of her. Now I don't let her bring firearms near my television.
