Soaking the ham in the milk removed a lot of the salt. We really liked this dish. It reminded me of the breakfast my Mom use to make with fried grits, eggs and biscuits. Thanks Bogey's Mom

I'm a Marine Corps wife and mother of two children with skin and three with fur. I consider myself a "southern cook", but I love to try new stuff, too. I'm also a registered nurse and my specialty is Neonatal ICU. We are currently stationed near Washington, DC and we really, really could not hate it more. We are not big city people. We prefer the quiet mountains of Vermont, where my husband is from. I am into my own spirituality, and love to study religions of different kinds.
