Did you think I forgot to do a contest today? I didn’t forget. My Monday just sort of exploded unexpectedly. I think I still have some on my shirt, here, even. Sorry about that.
A little while back a nice lady from Cook’s Ham (warning: site has sound) contacted me to see how I feel about ham. I am extremely pro-ham, as it turns out. Though my daughter is a vegetarian, so you can imagine the hilarity that ensues around here when we eat it. (Woo!) (She especially loves it when I say, “Mmmm… pork fat” ala Homer Simpson.)
To further nurture my love of ham, I was sent a coupon good for one ham up to $30. That’s a lot of ham, y’all. Maybe you would like it? One lucky Want Not reader is going to receive this coupon, good through the end of the year, to redeem for a Cook’s Ham. Yum!
Want to win it? First go read the contest rules and regulations, then come back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and amount of drool produced by the word “bacon.” (Um. Ewwwww.)
Thanksgiving is coming. Christmas, too. Ham is awesome. Free ham is awesometastic!
Ready? Go!
mmmmmm…..haaaaaaaammmmmm!
Yummy…would love to win a ham!
Haven’t met a ham I didn’t like!
Winner, winner, ham dinner!
please, I want to win this! I am hosting both thanksgiving, and christmas this year.
Random generators don’t like really small numbers, do they? Oh well. Thanks for the opportunity and hope your explosion debris settles reasonably.
Boy! That would sure help with the decision about who cooks in our family! Please pick my daughter to win.
Mmmm….bacon!
MMMMM ham…
I do love ham, without green eggs however.
YUM YUM Count me IN!!
bring on the pork!
yum..ham!
i love ham.
yummy ham!
Never met a ham I didn’t like, and I’ve got the cankles to prove it.
we love our pork products, thanks
My family would love this 🙂
Me please! Pick me! Pick me!
anything I can glaze with bourbon is delicious.
There are so many things you can make with ham!
The best contest ever….would love to win a ham….
Who doesn’t love ham?
Can I wrap that ham in bacon when I bake it?
yummy!
Please enter me!
I love me some ham…oink..oink..esp when free!
Mmmm… what’s not to love about ham? Delicious ham! Yes, please.
Knowing that there is one person in this world not eating meat (Chickie) just makes me want to up my intake to restore the balance of the universe (baconly speaking, I mean). Do you think there could be more??
So we’re agreed that ham IS awesometastic!
OINK OINK.
Ham is awesome! Free ham is awesometastic!!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
yes please!
Ham! if I win I’ll give it to the food bank, Because ham gives me a headache. So does bacon, but a headache is worth eating bacon.
Yes, please! Do I get extra credit for baking PB and Bacon cookies yesterday?
Ham was one of my daughter’s very first words. No kidding.
(Wow, that was kinda sad, wasn’t it?)
Pick me, please!
I love ham too!
Cant get enough pork in our house!
I hamtastically want this!!
Ohhhh! I love pork, specifically ham! I definitely want this!
Let’s ham it up.
We are lovers of ham over here!
Ham is tastetastic.
You’d need a mop to measure the amount of drool I’d generate. Count me in!
I like ham! But I don’t like bacon, so there’s no drool at all produced by hearing that word. In fact, my mouth is so drool-less that it’s rather dry, maybe I’ll go eat a chocolate chip cookie… mmm…. okay, chocolate chip cookies can make me drool….
It’s not bacon, but it’s close!
Thanks, Mir!
Love, love, love ham;
especially on holidays! 🙂
It’s a pork fat thing…we’d love to win a ham.
I loves me some cured piggy!!
Give me a spiral ham any day of the week!
OOoooo…hamalicious!! Hamtastic!
My husband suffers through the initial ham servings so that he can enjoy ham-n-beans-cornbread at a later date. Sign me up!
I’m salivating already! YUM!
Count me in!
I’d love to win this! Thanks!
Why do I feel this is going to be one of you highest commnted-on post EVER? 🙂 YUM!

Our family of 6 would love a free ham – yum, dinner, breakfast, and lunch for FREE!
I’m not a super fan of ham (it’s sort of like eating an eraser) — but I know a few families who could use this coupon and would love to pass it on to one of them.
My husband would love this! He’s a ham-addict
Being from Iowa originally, it is almost mandatory that you like ham. Who am I to disagree? 🙂
Ham is the other beef in my house!
Mmmm…ham….
Yummy!!!!
I am a vegetarian too, but my kids LOVE ham!
Yum! We love ham around here!
this would cheer up my poor husband’s craptastic day!
Bacon? Ewwwww. Ham? Yes, please! Thanks for another fun contest!

Who couldn’t use $30 worth of ham???

Ooooh pork!!!
Ham sounds good!
I’m the lone ham hater in a house full of ham lovers. They would LOVE for me to win this, because I only suffer through it when its cheap…. or free 🙂
I just put ham on my shopping list. Yummmmmmmmy!
I LOVE HAM
Mmmm ham. Even better is the split pea soup after the ham has been eaten.
Mmm! Ham! Even better are ham sandwiches, ham salad…
yum, ham.
Mmm.
I’ll eat it up, I love it so!
I love ham! I would love to have FREE ham because FREE ham? Is even better than regular ham! But, I don’t win these things, so it’s likely I won’t get to experience the manifold joys of free ham. (Have I mentioned you’re looking exceptionally pretty today, Mir?)(Random number generator, please be kind)
I don’t like ham, too many bad holidays as a child, BUT the boys in my house eat it up like water. Free would be sooo helpful.
awesometastic, I so agree! Thanks
hhhhhhhaaaaaaammm
Christmas is coming the HAM is getting fat!
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat!
Oooo…this would be SO nice for our family this year!
Bravo to your daughter! I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 15! That’s 18 years now! Husband is too but he switched when he was in college…
I don’t want the ham but since it is already dead, I would donate it to a food pantry.
🙂
I like ham!
Ham is good.
Yes, we need a ham! It’s a regular ham emergency around here!

We can always find a use for ham 🙂
I’m pretty sure it’s against the law to not love ham in the South. I’m a law-abiding citizen. (and not sayin’ that Chickie is not law abiding….it’s that northern side coming out, I’m sure.)
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. We love ham up here in Da Nort’ Countree, too. Count me in!

Um, I am sitting in a pool of drool at the very thought of thirty American dollars worth of HAM.
