The virtues of Rose shoulder hams are many, but finding them is no small matter. They used to be in our markets at holiday time, but then they disappeared altogether. I found the official site online but it was $48. to ship four little hams...you could buy three more hams for that cost, so Giant Eagle ordered them for us and they were here in a day or two. These gems are delicious anywhere you put them. They can be in long cooking green beans with potatoes and corn, in various soups, with noodles and ham, in potato soup. The list is long and seemingly endless. Matt even likes them sliced and eaten as is.
Another thing we found at Giant Eagle in the bakery was walnut, cranberry, raisin bread; oh my gosh, it is so moist and delicious. We ate some of it but I sent the rest to bread girl in Pittsburg because Ann is heading back there for weekend activities and bread girl only eats bread. (She has now added a few other things to the mix, but when I knew her bread was the main meal for her.)
I just found this in the fridge. Ann Bettencourt left me this Creole white bean, ham, and shrimp dish to serve with rice or buttered noodles; it looks delicious she made it a whole coffin of it. This is what she left for me, thank you, Ann.
