Chilebrown's "The Best Dinner Ever"

Chilebrown proves once again the Good Ingredients + Good Cooking= Good Times:

We had a little Ham. that we picked up from our last Meat Adventure. Ms. Goofy, Reverend Biggles, Cookiecrumb, Cranky and I went to the 'City', to a Polish Meat Market. The butcher smoked his own bacon, sausage and ham. I picked up a bunch of stuff including this small ham and some Hot Russian Mustard.

It has been overcast in Sunny California. It was a good excuse to fire up the Beehive Oven. I built a fire of Almond Wood. I scalloped some potatoes and drowned them in the richest cream I could find. I wrapped the ham in some thick cut bacon. I am still learning about cooking in the Beehive. I closed the door on the oven. and the temperature soared to 900 degrees. Whoa, it is a good thing I checked. I opened the door and covered the potatoes with foil. I cooked it for 20 minutes, rotating the dishes once.

The Potatoes were very rich and delicious. The Ham with the bacon was smoky good. A little smidge of Hot Russian Mustard made it come all together.

Peace, Paul

By the way, I do believe it's Dr. Biggles' birthday. Click on over and wish him well. You might have to speak up a bit, though, he's getting older...

Okay, aren't we all?

Great job, Paul:
