• ham: the story

  i was requested to explain the honey baked ham reference from a few days ago.

  i wish there were more to that story that was interesting, but you get what you get.  it was our work potluck last week.  now, whenever i say potluck, people envision this horrible event of awful dishes in tupperware and lame games.

  we, however, have amazing food and cheesy games.

  this makes a difference.

  so, we had a thanksgiving-themed potluck, and our social committee (yes, we have one, and yes, it's like the party-planning committee on the office) got a honey baked ham. an enormous one.  everyone forgot to eat breakfast that morning, and so when it came time to eat, we all attacked the ham.

  and then after the potluck, we convened in groups of two or three and ate ham throughout the afternoon.

  i was in such a food coma, largely related to ham, that it reminded me of my favorite part of the movie super size me, where morgan's girlfriend, a vegan, was comparing ham to crack in attempting to compare how harmful they both are.

  to which he responds that he could, indeed, be strung out on ham for days, and be perfectly happy.

  there you have it.
