Easter Dinner

Easter dinner has never appealed to me. My mom always cooks ham or lamb and I am not a fan of either meats.

We sat down for dinner, and we started talking about my blog. My parents were unaware of my attempt to be more open minded, but once hearing this news they were very encouraging. Everyone was eager to see my progress and test if I had truly started to expand my horizons.

This year it was ham that was served and that's what they made me try. I cut off a small piece and everyone started a countdown. ..3..2..1..and I ate it! My first reaction was that I did not like the texture; it was too slimey feeling for me, but I did like that it was very salty tasting. I told them how I felt and they said I had to try a piece and dip it into the glaze my mother made.

I cut off another piece and dipped it in the glaze. It was good! The glaze tasted like a sweet cinamon sugar glaze and it complimented the salty ham very well.

Although I was not a fan of plain ham, I really enjoyed the ham glaze. It added a whole new sweetness to it and I will probably eat ham again as long as I have that glaze :)
