The birds have eaten most of one basil, but I think the rest will survive.

I started a batch of bacon curing from my pork belly yesterday. There is some talk of quick-curing a ham, but we'll see.

Things you wish other people didn't know.

Have I mentioned you and Vittoria are just too cool? I'm going to have to get an East Coast butchering team put together because it's time to stop living vicariously through others. ;)

Re: pig processing - my hat's off to you! Enjoy the many porky meals. :)
Great link - I'm now going to have to dig up the infamous South Park montage video.
