ooks have never had it so easy when it comes to hamming it up at dinnertime. We usually think of the hind leg of a hog when we think of ham. If the pork comes Cfrom the front leg of a hog, it will be labeled “pork shoulder picnic.” In recent years, turkey producers have gotten into the ham picture. Turkey ham must be made from turkey thigh meat. Whatever the source, hams come in several forms. Hams may be fresh, cured or cured and smoked. They are either ready to eat or must be cooked before serving. The color of cured ham is usually deep rose or pink. Fresh ham that is not cured has the pale pink PHOTOS PROVIDED or beige color of a fresh pork roast.

PREP FOOTBALL PREP FOOTBALL Barons get Remembering the feeling another shot at ’Cats Archrivals meet again in SCISA 3A playoffs

BY TREVOR BAUKNIGHT [email protected]

It isn’t quite deja vu all over again, but it’s close enough. This time last week, the Wil- son Hall and Laurence Man- ning Academy varsity football teams were prepping for their annual season-ending show- down of archrivals at Wilson Hall’s Spencer Field. Tonight, the two teams will meet again in the opening round of the SCISA 3A state playoffs, except that the game is set for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff at Billy Chitwood Field in Manning. The Barons had a chance to grab a higher seed in the playoffs, but the ‘Cats pulled off a miracle finish, scoring a touchdown with no time remaining and nailing a crucial point-after kick to gain the come-from- behind victory, 14-13.
