Ham Dinner, 20 Minutes and It's Go Time!

Yesterday was one of those scheduling nightmare days when everyone was home for about 90 minutes between practices, classes and a band concert. Oh, and everyone was hungry.

So instead of just pouring the kids a bowl of cereal and myself a stiff one I dug deep and made a quick dinner.

Boar's Head Sweet Slice ham with brown sugar and pineapple rings, noodles with a bit of butter and Parmesan, avocado w/salt & pepper, sliced watermelon & honeydew.

To cut the heating time I slice the ham into individual slices, sprinkle with a couple of tablespoons light brown sugar, add a pineapple slice to each piece of ham and the juice from fruit (omg, it's from a can!). Bake at 400 for 20 minutes while you boil the noodle, slice the avocado & melon and pour the drinks.

I had everyone at the table in 25 minutes. It only took another 4 until elbows hit the table (ARGH!!!) and a few minutes more for the first "I don't think that's table talk!" to be uttered.
