    Just took the last ham from last year down and started trimming it up and thought I would snap a picture. Still have four shoulders left from last year. Killed a hog yesterday about 400 pounds and gonna put him on salt today and grind sausage.

    Might cut a big chunk off and put in some soup beans for supper

    I started to say "Gimme the address, . . . I'll bring green onions and cornbread", . . . then I figured I could probably make mine quicker here, . . . and not have to fight all that Saturday morning traffic.

    Have fun with it all.......... it sure looks good.

    I'm in the process of trying to develop a green chili recipe (basically pork and green colored peppers of one variety or another), . . . one that I like, is easily made, etc. Tried a couple of internet ideas, . . . didn't work to suit me, . . .

    May God bless,

    A lot of work butchering your own hog. But your own hams make it worth it!

    looks like it has good marbling
    have you tried salami or any type of dried /cure sausage?
    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    This is the finished product, minus the bone and the big chunk that went in the beans

    No, breakfast sausage is all I've ever done. I don't know any recipes for salami but I'm not a big fan of it anyway

    That sounds good. If you get the recipe how you like it , I would like to try it too

    Will do, hag, . . . I just wish I could find a big patch of wild onions, . . . always loved to chew on them when I was out in the boonies. I'd spot one, . . . pull a few leaves and just mosey along with a good tasting snack.

    I'm thinking they would be a good "addition" though I've never cooked with them. May go mushroom hunting here in the next few, . . . see if I can scout up some onions too.

    May God bless,
    Dwight
