Part of the joy of buying whole and half pigs is you are left with all this bulk ground up sausage. I like to get the sausage unseasoned and then add my own spices for different flavors.

What separates a stromboli from a calzone? According to Wikipedia and a couple other google searches a calzone is baked with a marina sauce inside and is formed into a half moon shape. A stromboli the marina is served on the side (I prefer to use BBQ sauce spiked with some Frank’s Red Hot) and […]
Good to see that action is being done to Westland/Hallmark. If you don’t remember a couple weeks ago I posted a link about the slaughterhouse in which a video surfaced showing animal abuse. Click here to read the full article. More proof why it is always good to know where your meat is coming from.
Instead of […]
On a forum I follow one of the members tried this to horrendous results. Not being one to turn down a possible disaster I have decided to give it an attempt.
