Glad you liked it, Doug. Now a confession. My wife, from Georgia, is the country ham devotee. I like it, but prefer a little less salt myself.
A postscript about recipe books. There has been a tremendous change in recipes since WW2, with people being sold on "healthy" life styles. There is increasing resistance to the new eating regulations, however. One of our main sources for recipes is the old Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking School cookbook, 8th Ed., pre-1948, edited by Wilma Lord Perkins. Subsequent editions have lower calorie recipes and many of the more elegant dishes were removed altogether. Our copy is falling apart, so I have been looking for a replacement from the used bookstores. A good copy of the Perkins 9th edition (the last good one) lists at around $100.
