➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I learned to make hog's head cheese like my mother-in-law did...pressure cooking a whole head. She loved the jowl and ears. It was okay.
Now I use a roasted pork shoulder instead. Made and spiced correctly you have a nice sandwich slice.
I never use vinegar! Don't like the taste of hogheadsause.



Mine does not smell bad. I trim out the fat and shred the roasted pork shoulder. I mix in salt, pepper, finely chopped onion and bell pepper and a touch of sage and garlic. I use the broth from the cooked pork as the binder. Mix this all together and press into square refrigerator containers. Once the juices gel, you slice it and either eat it cold or heat in a skillet.


Husband's family grew up butchering their own hogs, rendered the lard for soap, smoked cuts of meat and made head cheese from the salvageable parts. Chickens and dog got the rest except the skins were tanned.


Wonderful!


Hubby and I have a joint account. His friends have exploded it into a political mayhem.
I'm taking myself off the joint page soon.

See yours actually sounds pretty good! Made out of real ingredients and shoulder or some good cut instead of an actual head. But the fake/overly processed junk you can buy at a deli sounds so awful. As does the stuff made from actual heads. Yours I would eat.

And yeah, I hate all the politics on FB. It’s gotten ridiculous. Plus it’s just boring. I think a lot of people have moved on to Twitter. Or at least like my age people.

I have an account there, but I don't use it. Facebook just doesn't interest me.

Yeah it doesn’t really interest me anymore either. I mostly keep it for family so I can see pictures and stuff. But I don’t use it very much. Only thing I really use it for besides connecting with family is work i.e. posting pics of clients dogs haha but that’s like once or twice a week or whenever I dog sit

I mostly use Twitter and here.

I actually prefer other sites/apps anyway because all my family is on FB so I can’t say/post some of the stuff I actually want to say. So I tweet it instead. Or say it here

I respect the process, but pork makes me so nauseous. I just can’t eat it.
I still haven’t told either sets of my in-laws yet. My poor MIL makes a stuffed pork dish every time I visit.

This is why I’ve never had one and never will. I have family and friends on there that spend all their time “debating” (arguing) political or religious topics.. I have better things to do.
Quite frankly, it would harm my relationship with some people more than it would benefit it. Lol.

I have to not-so-humble brag for just a moment.. I made a freaking 95.5% on my biochemistry test.
I’m so happy. I was absolutely not expecting that.

congratulations.

I'd like to say it gets easier. It doesn't. Each semester gets a little bit more challenging and new stuff to remember. Remember the goal. You will rise to the challenge. Quittin' is too easy.

Then you get new challenges. A good study ethic builds into a good work ethic builds into an easy job. One step, one class, one challenge at a time. Geaux Tes!

Are you listening @littleprairieheartsfarm ? How are your classes?

There is a lot going on currently, classes are incredibly overwhelming but not just because of the content, and I’ll probably have some really bad news to report tomorrow... let’s just say I’ve been sobbing for almost 2 weeks straight.

In other (good) news, a random video of Bella and Kevin playing is going viral on FB so that’s fun.

Oh no. I hope everyone is okay.
I’m sorry Prairie.
Do you wanna share the video? That sounds precious.
