Very lucky for you. Now you have a happy wife.When my wife came here from the Philippines. Onetime we were at the grocery store and she asked if they had pig ears. I told her the only pig ears they have are dried out for dogs to chew on. Luckily we found a butcher shop that we could get what she wanted.
YayyyyyIt's been rainy but pleasant. I have collected almost a gallon of rain water for my soon to be new critters.
No thank you.Now the belly meat I can eat. And the cheeks from the head. Belly meat wasn't on the menu.
Yeah she eats a blood soup that I will not tryLOL

Not my thing, but it is a good thing that the whole pig is used otherwise it's death would not be a waste.In Germany it gets more and more difficult too to get pig ears or a whole pig head or something else. Because more and more people think like Lyn. They don`t want to eat meat that looks like the animal it came from.
I would think with all the torts you have you would not need to weed eat. But then I remembered you still have areas that are not occupied by torts.Hi Linda! I did a couple loads of washing yesterday. Today it's back to the Weedeater.
Oh I am sorry Linda. Hope your leg gets better soon.I need to get out in the garden, but my leg can’t cope indoors properly so it is going to have to wait
Beautiful Mark. A little lonely but lovely.Greetings all. Truck is unpacked, kayak off, drying things out.
Here’s one pix from yesterday morning from the Great Dismal Swamp. Just wonderful cypress trees....

Wow. Very interesting!!I had to look it up because I was curious about the name. Seems like "dismal" was a common term for swamps in those days:
More than 280 years ago, what is now the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge was part of a much larger, waterlogged natural area known in land records as the Great Dismal.
While today's protected refuge stretches over more than 110,000 acres in parts of Suffolk, Chesapeake and northeastern North Carolina, the Great Dismal was more than 1 million acres and included land areas as far east as Back Bay in present-day Virginia Beach, according to Deloras Freeman, the refuge's visitor services specialist.
Called "great," possibly because of its size, it was called "dismal" because that was a common term at the time for a swamp or morass.
Author Hubert Davis took the root meaning a bit further in his 1962 book, "The Great Dismal Swamp," noting that "the French translate this into marais maudit meaning cursed swamp. Dismal also meant evil association with Satan."
I was going to say it does not look too bad, but then I saw the 2nd picture. [emoji23] [emoji23]We paddled pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday in the rain. Lots of rain. The best day/night was friday, but there were terrible winds too. We did have great kayaking....our spirits were high.
