DH isn't very well. This weekend was Pig weekend, so we did what we could.
I collected the porker this morning, and got home late. DH had sterilised everything, got the boards out, knives sharpened. We started at about 1pm.
DH had to wear a mask, and we both had a sit down part way through. We didn't really make the most of the pig this time - no ham, no bacon. We aren't even keeping the shouder as a joint! We do have 3 good sized belly joints, a tenderloin, and several kilos of diced pork so far. We'll have a good amount of mince, and we're going to be making many many sausages. I've got lard rendering at the moment, and we're having ribs for dinner.
I know I'm being wasteful, because Im not making stock. I just don't have the energy. Or the vegetables.
We'll do the sausaging (and mincing) tomorrow, too tired today.
