It was bound to happen. First, I try to capture news from the world of hogs, and then I try to do a little recipe sharing… and now it’s all mingled together, inextricably (or inexplicably). Maybe it’s because I’m running on about two hours of sleep today, or maybe because I’m just typically befuddled, but here it goes.
All over the news today (and in my email box) are the reports of the world’s costliest pork! This is not simply high-dollar ham! At about $160/lb, this stuff gets the raves usually reserved for more refined stuff, like hummingbird tongues!
Really, though, this is nothing. I added up the cost per pound of my last hog, and let me tell you that $160 would have been a bargain! Heck, and for that price, my hams haven’t even been cured or smoked.
By the way, if anybody has any information of the whereabouts of my car, please let me know. I ran in the store to pick up a box of ammo, and when I came out, it was gone. The gun store had a camera out front, though. Here’s the photo they caught of the perpetrator!
Thanks to Rex for sending this to me. Brightened up my Monday!
Anyway…
I know I’ve promised a few things on the HogBlog over the past week or two, including a write-up/interview about the Coon Camp Springs project, as well as a recent cooking video. I also need to get the photos and video of this weekend’s hunt cleaned up and ready to be presented to you, my fine readers.
I still promise, it’s all on the way. Gotta deal with a day job, loved ones, and a hunting addiction… but it’s all coming.
Honest.
