Man Cooking ... two words that really do not go well together, unless you have the information needed to impress your guests and pets. Thankfully, I am here to help out this holiday season.
Why am I sharing my secrets with you? Two words - "kindness". Ok, that's just one word, but a powerful one word, so it kind of equals two words. At the very least, one and a half words.
The real key is picking the right meat. It is way too easy to jack up a turkey and end up with a dry bird that tastes like drift wood. Steer clear of birds.
The real magic meat is HAM! You can go to the market and find hams that have been cured and seasoned already. I recommend the honey baked spiral cut variety. The careful shopper will find a great coupon, and save save save your way to rich juicy taste, and possibly a new wife. Now that is hot and juicy.
Step 2: Get out the power drill and install the quarter inch bit. Bore holes into the meat in a one inch cross pattern, and make sure to get all sides. This OPENS the viaducts for the infusion of step three.
Step 3: Place the ham in a large pot. If you do not have a large pot, a small garbage can will do nicely. Then, poor orange juice in until the ham is completely covered.
Step 5: (NOTE I deleted step 4 because of the hospital visit in 04`) Pour brown sugar and Tabasco sauce over the surface of 
the juice. Now you simply cover the top with foil, and cook for about 10 minutes on broil.
While the ham cooks, set the table. It's easy if you just copy a picture. I took the liberty of providing one here for you. Print out this entire post and have it up on the fridge for the big day.
I would say good luck, but thanks to me ... you will not need it.

Hot sauce, orange juice. I've got news for you Speedy. Those hams already come with the brown sugar glaze and it's delicious. Just saying. Also, how you going to get that baby hot in just 10 minutes. I'm not coming to your house for Christmas. I want you to come here. I cook really well and you can shop for a hot babe right here in my neighborhood.
Have a terrific day Speedy. Big hug. :)
I am SOOOOOOOO there! Maybe you can spread the word that I am nice and a millionaire :-)
Ham. It is a magical food, I agree.
Why don't you just tour the country over the holidays and eat at the homes of all your blog followers? It's the least we can do for all the smiles you've brought... and maybe a little gagging, but we won't go there. :) lol
Thank you for this informative post. Now I know where I've been going wrong all these years.
Hey, don't knock garbage can cooked food. It's some of the best around (so I hear).
