OK, I shed a tear as I came back into the thread after a 3 month hiatus and still see no pics of cutting into this gorgeous beauty! Hope everything is good with you Tom after you all got that bug and that at least if you have not yet enjoyed the ham, she is still hanging and pretty to look at!
Tom, that really is too bad about you and your guests getting that bug, I hope you are all well and good by now. As far as the freezing part goes, within about a week or two after cutting into mine, I butchered the rest up and froze it in different bags. Some were "thin sliced" others were...

Well, I waited as long as I could, and my in-laws were heading back to Florida for the winter this past weekend, and I've been amping this ham up to them forever so I thought it would be a nice going away present for them to be there while I cut into the ham to see what was inside! It was worse...
