Hog’s Head Update: I DID videotape the arrival of pig parts Saturday. Technically, Charlie brought home HALF a pig’s head. And four pig’s feet. And a bunch of “normal” meat. The inside of a pig’s head is … ICKY. No headcheese will be made until next month. (I know, AWWWWWWW!) Yesterday I forced myself to [...]
