Welcome To Ham Week: Its Like Shark Week- Only Saltier
Hello there and Happy Ham Week! I hope those who are reading are having an enjoyable "Holiday Glaze Season." For those unfamiliar with this Hammy Holiday, I'd like to take the opportunity to welcome you and to explain it's meaty origin.

In my family, a major part of Christmas is the Ham. My brothers and I can always expect to find a beautiful, pink, succulent, salty, sugary, glazed Ham to be awaiting us at the dinner table. It is damn near, if not, perfection and one of my favorite meals of the year. You put a couple slices of that on a Snowflake Roll with some Gulden's mustard and you're in business.
We always say in my family that we could stand around a "Honey Baked" Spiral Ham, pick meat, eat and bullshit with one another for hours. Just eating like cavemen and shooting the breeze. That's what my family does best.
#HamWeek. It's like Shark Week-Only saltier. #Ham #Instaham #GoHam

Last year, my brother and I actually did this during a snowstorm that crippled most of the East Coast. My Dad had given us a half Ham to take back to our apartment after the Christmas Holiday.
Lets just say we, "went Ham".
There are only two things to do while snowed in: Eat and Drink
My brother and I did plenty of each that week. We were up to our necks in Ham and Heineken.
At first, we picked from the Ham bone like Neanderthals. Then, I made sandwiches, salads, casseroles, omelettes and stews with the meat. It was quite amazing how much I could do with the spiral slices of greatness. That Ham fed us for a week during the snow and we will be forever grateful. #NeverForget
So, to celebrate such a generous meat- Ham Week was born!
This year Ham Week will be chronicled and you're all welcome to join in. Follow me and share your #HamWeek photos with the world. Post every, salty, savory, tasty, meaty, morsel or slice of Hammy goodness for the globe to see.
#GoHam, people. This isn't just Ham Week, Its your week!
