Another one of those dinners that might not be considered “summer fare”, but, I had a craving. I baked an eight pound bone in ham for dinner last night and served it with our traditional sides –  potato gratin,  squash and steamed broccoli. Now I have leftover ham to make a few of Moe’s favourite…

  I bought three small chickens with the intention of freezing two of them and roasting the other one for dinner.  Instead I decided to cut them up.  Three whole  breasts with wings attached  packaged separately and a package  with four legs went into the freezer and the two remaining legs were boned and stuffed…
