    Getting my hands on a whole hog.

    I was totally carried away and forgot to take pictures from the very beginning. Here is a shot of the two boneless loins waiting to be cut into chops. The leg. Note the slash in the middle. I wasn't too happy with the quality of work coming out of the slaughter plant. The pigs were skinned...

    Getting my hands on a whole hog.

    What was I thinking? Oh well, I've started it, might as well finish! I got a lot of leaf lard out of the pig. I've read that the lard rendered from leaf lard is the best lard money can buy...it's in a pot on the range right now cooking out! I hope the house doesn't smell too much from it.

    Getting my hands on a whole hog.

    So I arrived at school an hour early this morning, rushed over to the kitchen basement and proceeded to break the pork. I was able to bone the loins, take the ribs off of the sides, bone one shoulder for trim and split the other into picnic and butt, and squared up the legs for roasts and ham. I...

For $19.95 I can get them sharpened professionally. That might be near the price of replacing them with cheap disposables...
