Andy's Granny came into town tonight. I've known about this visit for weeks, but I still hadn't pre-thought dinner. After work, I ran home before picking up Celia and Charlie to fix something really quickly. Luckily, I had a whole ham thawed out. My friend Leighanne had given me a 2 liter of Cherry Coke Zero the other night. I looked at the ham, I looked at the soda and I thought hmmmm....
Baked Ham and Sweet Carrots
Ingredients:
1 Ham (mine was 6lbs)

3. Peel and chop carrots and onion into large chunks. Put around ham.
