fleaPork chops patted with bread crumbs and baked
Baby german gold potatoes with herbes de provence and olive oil, roasted
And, um, green beans from France, via Trader Joe's.
We now have 20+ pounds of pork in the freezer from the free-range pig we picked up today. We got half a pig and split it four ways with coworkers and neighbors, and then a couple of the splits split it again. We ended up with 3 packs of pork chops (3-4 chops each), 5 pounds of sausage (hot and mild), two packs of sliced ham, a ham roast, two packs of shoulder steaks, and a pack of uncured bacon. We pted to let others take ribs and neck bones and the liver. Since we eat meat maybe once a week, this will keep us a long while.
The farmer is a professor of veterinary medicine at UGA, and has a small hobby farm on the side. She has beeves in the fall... (half a cow is 210 pounds of meat! This pig dressed out at 260, and we got 107 pounds as our half.)
