1. The snarky attitude on there is really depressing

If I were an admin I would long ago have gone on a granite-hurling rampage in that forum.

2. I found the thread in question quite useful

rather, it would have been had I not already pitched the Christmas ham. :(

[sniffa]

3. i dunno

3 weeks? that's too Long for me. i throw the miLk when it's getting cLose to the expiration date.

[Wickerman]

6. Ham's the best when its nice and crusty

right before it turns green. :crazy:

[sniffa]

8. it goes great w/ green eggs

:P

[Wickerman]

11. I would not, could not

with a goat.

9. Ham actually keeps a long time.

You could easily store a ham for three weeks without any adverse affects. It's smoked/cured, so it's not like fresh, uncooked meat.

Milk will keep up to seven days after the expiration date, but milk never lasts long enough around here to test that.

12. now if i wouLd just eat ham

i used to Love the stuff, but i don't eat it anymore. occasionaLLy, i'LL have some on easter if i'm visiting a reLative (that's the easter meaL, right?) but it can be rough on me since i never eat it.

17. It's pretty salty.

(Part of why it keeps so long - salt is a preservative.) I know the saltiness bothers a lot of people.

I don't eat much ham myself - ham for Christmas, the leftovers turned into ham soup, and the occasional ham sandwich. I usually serve pork roast for Easter.

4. Is this the first cross-forum copycat thread?

I salute you.

[sniffa]

5. thank you

:hi:

i didn't know if anyone wouLd catch it... and i aLso worry about offending a certain someone.

[Tweed]

7. Yeah...

My first post was going to be "Oh you just served...." but I decided that might end this thread and the idea of a cross-forum copycat thread especially when the first one was about the Lounge and then you, well you know, wow, as a copycat thread lover, jus WOW! I wish I would have thought of it first.

[progmom]

10. Very subtle.

I salute you.

[sniffa]

15. apparentLy so

[StopTheMorans]

[GOPisEvil]

16. Remember NSMA trying to find her keys?

[sniffa]

19. oui

[terrya]

21. finaLLy the mods have taken controL

and things are back to normaL there.

[claudiajean]

22. Best. Thread. Ever. No, really. EVER.

I salute you.

I'd nominate it for the homepage, but that might get it locked.



(I have to say, I salute Skinner for his timely and thoughtful ham refrigeration advice in this post-festive timeframe. It's good to see the ATA Forum populated with such information.)
