- I want to make the soup right now if it's okay - so any immediate feedback would be awesome! :) [NT] - Carianna in WA - 10:58pm on 03/03/13
- Cured and cooked actually has a shorter shelf life than uncooked or uncured. [LINK] - LisainLA - 11:09pm on 03/03/13
- Wow. That seems really conservative! 3 to 5 days? A big ham is likely... - Michael in Phoenix - 11:12pm on 03/03/13
- Will it definitely be off in 3 or 7 or even 10 days in the fridge? Maybe not, assuming it was - LisainLA - 4:33am on 03/04/13

- I'm going for it. I think I'll call it "Death by Ham Soup" [NT] - Carianna in WA - 11:46pm on 03/03/13
- I guess what I don't get is why it's perfectly okay to hang and cure for months on end, and then - Carianna in WA - 12:52am on 03/04/13
- Unless it was a "country ham", it was not likely cured by the hanging/drying method. - LisainLA - 4:30am on 03/04/13

- ummm, maybe I should get my cholesterol numbers checked "first" before going down this path. [NT] - MarilynFL - 6:58pm on 03/04/13
- I don't get the adding cheese curds bit. do they melt just from the gravy? or no melt, just squeaky [NT] - AngAk1 - 8:14pm on 03/04/13
- When you use smallish curds they melt from the hot fries and the gravy. Too yummy. Oh my arteries! [NT] - CathyZ from Kauai - 10:13pm on 03/04/13
- Ya. Cholesterol numbers came in at 220 (no meds). So, no poutine & back to the exercising. [NT] - MarilynFL - 5:30pm on 03/05/13

- 23957. So I bought a bag of "sprouted whole wheat flour"? Now what do I do? - MarilynFL - 6:19pm on 03/04/13 (4)
- You can use it one for one in place of all-purpose flour - CathyZ from Kauai - 6:48pm on 03/04/13
- so...the word "sprouted" in the title doesn't mean anything different? - MarilynFL - 6:57pm on 03/04/13
- It really is a matter of being able to digest the grain easier- "they" let it sprout - CathyZ from Kauai - 10:12pm on 03/04/13
- Good news. Thanks for the explanation. [NT] - MarilynFL - 3:36pm on 03/05/13
