lol Well, there you go! No WONDER I like it so much. I have not
had white wine since I gave up smoking, or at least I didn't think I
had.

And fatty, and full of weird stuff. Not that I don't enjoy a
hoagie every now and then, but for the most part, I think
eating lunchmeat regularly is just asking for trouble. (Same
with my beloved hot Italian Sausage, with the exception that
at least it has no preservatives or other weird chemicals. It
still has wayy too much fat and salt.)

I do the same thing. I used to get the spiral-sliced hams, but find
that they get too dry, I am back to the picnic, bone-in types which
come out really succulent if roasted right, as you know. But, again,
due to the fat and salt and such, I might only do this every three months,
otherwise it is chicken and turkey and lean cuts of beef sliced thinly.
I like the meat much better without all that added stuff in lunchmeats.
Plus, fresh has to be the way to go--and then there is the fact that
it is so much cheaper. Decent deli ham is $8 a pound here, and my
picnic hams are at most maybe $2 a pound.
