Well we had the first of our fresh pork for dinner tonight! and it was to die for

The last time i had fresh pork i was too young to know the difference but after having the fresh pork tonight it reminded me of the fresh chicken i had a couple years ago. the juiciest, most flaverful chicken I ever had (that was my first fresh chicken). Well the same goes for the pork! We deep-fried strips of it it in flower/egg mix and it was just great! I have one quarter to finish cutting tomorrow and then this weekend we are going to use all the scrap meat and fat to make breakfast sausage and pepperoni sticks, which I can't wait for either! Just a quick update about the pig stuff!

Nothing better than fresh meat and veggies, especially when you have raised them yourself. Congratulations on getting your pigs butchered out.

Let me add my congrats too, Jeep! How difficult was it? Did you keep the skin, too?

LOL Genny!!! I tried to get the lady that processed mine to give me the skin (fried pork rinds - yum!) but she said they don't do that. I did get her to give me the heads, though. Not for me, but for this guy who does work for me on occasion. He was planning to make pozolé out of them.

I have to be the worst mother in the world. My son has somehow stuck his arms inside a pillow sham that has a pillow inside and he cannot figure out how to get it off. He is having a complete panic'd breakdown and the first thought that popped in my head was, "Where is my video camera?!"

Nope we skinned it. And it wasn't to bad. Not as easy as a deer though. deer skin is much easier to grab and pull. Plus with deer skin you can almost just pull it off, no knife required

When we did pigs years ago we always skinned them, along with all the other animals we butcher. Nobody in the house likes fried pig skins or anything anyway.

Yep! I always love eating homegrown meat and veggies.

And just to make you aren't confused, we only butchered one, the other is going to the auction next month. he is still a bit smaller and will hopefully will be the right weight by auction.

And Everyone else, Thanks for the congrats, and yep, it was really good
