Do you know where you got this? The only non-water added hams I've seen 
have been the ones talked about on this list. But I can't remember the 
brand right now. I don't think those were hickory smoked. Another 
source would be nice.

A beef log? I've heard of cheese logs, but not beef logs. Do you mean a 
summer sausage or something else?

local Asian store.

Please let us know how you use these.

I've spent the last week raking/vacuuming up the leaves in my yards 
(the new and the old house). The temperature is supposed to be in the 
70s tomorrow. :-)
