Granny's gone and done it again

[twisted-acres-farm]

Garage put back in order other then the 4 -55 gallon drums we used as support legs for the table. Kitchen cleaned and all the laundry from butchering in the washed, My 100 lbs of sausage in casings and over at Gene's for smoking. Hopefully tomorrow I can get my truck back into the garage.

Also got some end of the month books done need to finish that and then the year end stuff as well.

DOES ANY ONE HAVE A BRINE RECIPE FOR HAM HOCKS THEY ARE WILLING TO SHARE I HAVE ONE FROM THE INTERNET BUT

the idea of using bay leaves seems a little strange to me.

Mom stated bay is for flavoring. Technically you can just remove the bay leaves and do the rest.
