My maternal grandmother used to order a special dry smoked ham from Virginia 
every Christmas.   I meant to look this year on the internet to see what kind 
of prices the kind she used to buy cost, now.  I bought a Farmer Johns 
cry-o-vaced ham on sale this week for 78 cents per lb, to cook this weekend.  
We always cook a standing rib roast for Christmas, and they were on sale too, 
for $3.77 per lb.  Maybe next year I will remeber to look for one of those 
Virginia hams.  They don't add water or anyhting; they are dry smoked, and 
damn tasty.  I haven't had one in years....
