My husband purchased a oil-free infrared fryer earlier this month and it's one of the best purchases he's ever made. We used it to cook our ham. The crust is crispy and the inside is so juicy. See the picture below.

I didn't have to roast a turkey for Thanksgiving because we went to my mother in law's house and my cousin in law's house for 2 Thanksgiving dinners during November. So I decided to roast the turkey at home on Christmas Day.

I can't believe the amazing portions Hash House gives you! It's ginormous.We always share a plate with another person when I am here and we still don't finish the plate. The ambiance is amazing but the wait is really long so you either avoid coming with a large party to come here (takes longer to get seated) or come super early!
