    Killer IP Split Pea Soup

    Haha! I just threw our leftover ham into our Instapot along with some yellow peas and chicken broth. Not as fancy as your recipe but still tasty. I’m a huge fan of pea soup although it gives me the vapors.

    Christmas Hams Surprise

    One of my favorite lines I say out here is “I was born in Minnesota and lived there for 30 years. No one told us we could move.”

    Christmas Hams Surprise

    I could never relate to the phrase “the wonderful smells of the holidays” as ours was dominated by the smell of lutefisk. I can’t eat fish or stand the smell to this day. Folks will say, “You’re Scandinavian and you hate fish? Why?” My answer is “Lutefisk abuse.”

    Christmas Hams Surprise

    The joke was that the Swedes stole the Norwegian’s cod and soaked it in lye to kill them but the Norwegians loved it.

    Christmas Hams Surprise

    Great story! I knew Seattle has a big Swedish population and it’s funny it’s Mrs. Olson’s. I buy it every time I’m back in MN. I found a new lefse recipe this year that minimized the amount of flour used and I modified one part of it to include an initial Sous vide of the potatoes. It turned out...

    Christmas Hams Surprise

    Pasteurizing hams has been a game changer for me. They’re amazing and a huge thanks to @daveomak for that. I’m from both sides of the border in Scandahoovia. Limpa and Jansson’s Frestelse are a Swedish thing. Jansson’s is supposed to have anchovies or some kind of tinned fish in it which sets...

    Christmas Hams Surprise

    Probably one of the best hams I’ve ever made. Super crazy moist. Pop’s brine is foolproof. But it’s the Sous vide 6 hour bath after smoking that does the trick. Also in our little smorgasbord are my wife’s killer Swedish meatballs and freaking amazing potato sausage that was unbelievably...

    Diet & Exercise

    I hit my goal two weeks ago. My pulmonologist called in his whole staff and they all cheered. It was pretty fun. I’ve now lost 130 lbs and the fun part maintaining it lies ahead. My favorite part was going from a 44” waist to a 32” like I was in college. Now I find a new normal as I can’t eat...

    Ok, show those Christmas scores!

    Wait… “ham press?” Is this another gadget I never knew I needed? Must research.

    Ok, show those Christmas scores!

    I don’t have room for it. Haha! These will be going to my office where I’m having to install a big shelf. I’m totally out of room at home.

    Sounds and looks decadent and delicious. This is the first I’ve heard of this, too.

    Christmas Hams Surprise

    So the other surprise is that the guy I was going to give the bacon to, in a couple days, just showed up at my door with his amazing pear tart. That’s fresh pears soaked in wine and baked into an almond crust. So I gave him his bacon but forgot to take a picture of it. Oops. So, here’s the hams...
