getting ready for ham. |
As of our second Valentine's Day together (2011) we've had a honey baked ham to celebrate. (The first Valentine's Day we had been dating like 2 weeks and I was being a strong woman who didn't need to spend some commercial holiday with her future husband.) Why the ham? Cause, we love TV and Dwight on The Office thought a ham was a perfect Valentine's Day present for Angela. So, that.
While the ham is always the same, the sides are different. This year we had mac & cheese + collards. I was in charge of the mac & cheese. I used a Mark Bittman recipe but I accidentally bought rice based pasta (oops) and somehow despite all the cheese there wasn't a ton of flavor. It wasn't horrible, but I didn't love it. Michael killed it with the collards. I'll let him tell the rest.
