I like the fact that the burgers and stuff at Carl's actually look like the ad pictures, Arby's aren't too far off, McD's and Burger King are not even close.
And they put them together like they threw all condiments from across the kitchen! :x

we picked up another country 12.5 lb ham while grocery shopping earlier today .... $2.99 a pound when you purchase the whole ham (they slice it for you at that price) .... $5.99 a pound when you purchase it by the slice .... we trim most of the fat off and slice it into pieces which we layer in cooking oil in a Tupperware type container .... keep it in the frig and it will keep for months .... when you are ready to cook it, let some of the oil drain off and drop it into a pan or onto a grill .. 8-)

for folks who may not know, country Ham is different that regular smoked or baked ham .... it is usually salt and/or pepper cured through a process that predates refrigeration by hundreds of years .... soaking it in cooking oil does help to cut the salt as does rinsing it with clear water and patting it dry prior to cooking

That's a good looking ham. All you need is biscuits and stone ground grits. Just don't forget that red eye.
