Update, I did get a cast iron sauce pan that is coated in ceramic. Love it!
As for the book, it went over really well. Funny thing about it, others were calling me about where to order it. I guess some saw it at the family functions and wanted it. I haven't even put it up for sale yet lol.. I guess I can do that now..
I didn't catch that bake-off episode. The baking bug has yet to bite me. I just never have gotten into it, and I think it is because I tend to stay away from sweets.
I did take a pic of the xmas eve ham. When I get a chance I will grab it from the cam and post a pic.
