1. I do not like cloves.
2. I do not like molasses.
3. I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes.
4. Don't like onions, cream of celery soup, or frozen vegetables.

So why, in the name of all that's dutifully thankful, did I make ham with cloves and molasses, mashed sweet potatoes with molasses, and green bean casserole that used frozen green beans? I didn't like ANY OF IT. It was ALL TERRIFYINGLY BAD. NONE of it was any good AT ALL.

Hi, I'm throwing out the cooking juices. Fascist recipe anyway.

I do not understand what "Do not discard the cooking juice" means when it never comes back into the recipe? Is it like those mattress tags that you're not supposed to cut off? What am I supposed to DO with the cooking juice if I am never to discard it? Use it to moisturize my toes?

NOTE TO ALL COOKS: THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF HAM!

When you go to the grocery store, do not just lay your hand down on the first ham that looks like the right size and gaily carry on shopping. This could lead to problems. For example, if you are following a recipe for a ham that is not cooked, and you buy one that says on the label "FULLY COOKED" but you fail to notice this and you gleefully follow all the instructions of the recipe, cooking the poor maligned piece of meat for hours with all different processes, you will not be happy with the result. In fact, you won't even be happy with the smell of the result.

Happy Thanksgiving.
