A newly married lady fixed a ham for her very first Thanksgiving dinner at her new house. Her husband asked her why she cut the ham in half before she cooked i? She told him that was how her mother always cooked it, so that is how she cooked it. So the new husband asked his mother in law why she cut her ham in half when she cooked it? She told him that was how her mother cooked it so that is how she always cooked it. So the man asked his grand-mother in law why she cut her ham I half before she cooked it and she said that was how her mother always cooked it, so that was why she always cooked it that way. So the man goes to the great grand-mother in law why? She told him that one Thanksgiving she was cooking ham for the whole family and the ham was too big for her pan, so she cut it in half before she cooked it. So you see traditions are sometimes based on a pan being too small.
