Hi everyone.  I am very tired but I wanted to do this post before I crash out and go back to doing other things.  Ron and I just got done working together to slice three hams.  Small boneless ones.  We wait until they go on sale and get a couple.  Turns out we had one in the freezer waiting for this.   So a good sale came up on small boneless hams and Ron pounced like a lioness after an elk.  We once got lucky, a large shoulder ham was at a really low price and had a small bone.   That is important.   The bone has to be small, if you get one of those that works great.  You can have a ham dinner then carve the largest chunks off the bone.  Those you slice on the meat slicer and the bone part you boil for soup.  (insert Bernie Sanders yelling “Suooop”)!  here.

So rather than describe it I will simply but the pictures below.  But before I do that you might wonder why I have a meat slicer.   Well for about 15 years I made bread for us and our friends.  I love the taste of fresh baked bread and I had three great machines to do it.  I made a two pound loaf every three days.  I tried several ways to cut the bread loaves into slices.  The meat slicer has a variable speed and worked great for cutting the bread into even regular slices.  I used my machines so much I burned out three Breadman upright loaf machines.  I liked that kind because the paddle was in only the one end of the bread loaf and so you did not lose much bread slices.  I have never found another like it.  I bought two, one was 200 dollars with a squat fat pan that gives an unusable loaf.  If anyone has or knows of a good machine Ron keeps asking me to go back to making bread again.   Ok below are the pictures.  Loves, best wishes, and hugs to all.
