I can’t recall many Saturday Adventures with Mom that didn’t involve a quick stop at the Honey Baked Ham store…so I could run in to check for ham bones.  Mom waited in the car, anxiously watching for me to give the thumbs up.  You see, years ago when we first began this ritual, they actually gave them away for free.  When Mom was on a mission to make Split Pea Soup it wasn’t unheard of for us to hit 2-3 locations before finding the prize.   Imagine being able to make a gallon of Split Pea Soup with Ham for the price of two bags of split peas (less than $3.00).
