Lamb Belly "Porchetta". We have just the one on our shelves. It's yours, if you're fast enough.

I'm back, but only in spirit. Nice to know I was missed, however.

I'll be around here or there, more or later, but all in might do me in. Baby steps.

A salmon cake, made to perfection, showing off its lucious ramps, its hithercometoo red finger chiles, its parsley, lemon, agrumato, salt, and white pepper. Yearn for it, and it can be yours.

From the blue waters, to the green of ramps, though the red of finger chiles, we got you though most of the spectrum. Not infrared though, that would be weird.

Howdy Meatketeers, the main social media goblin is taking a short winter's nap, so we may be a little quieter than usual. Now, go forth and meat!

Good think indeed. When I am king, autocorrect gets to spend its last days in The Scorpion Pits.

Third for Small Gods. And, even Flashman is a bit much by today's standards, George Macdonald Frasier's The Pyrates is riotously funny.

I think the question is why does your kid dig those two: wordbuilding? Fantasy elements? Escapism? Satire (Pratchett's legit my favorite satirist since Mark Twain)?

If it's the worldbuilding, Dune? If the fantasy bit, maybe The Night Circus? If the satire maybe The Master & Margarita?

Oooooh and that Turkey MolΓ© might be replaced when we have time (not tomorrow- 1/2 pig and fish day), but let us never speak of this again.

Brought home a couple turkey legs last week and cured them. Confitted them Friday. Today, I made turkey cassoulet and turkey rillettes.

And it's *insane* to use good knives in a butcher shop. I just like being out of restaurants. Where it's insaner unless you work at, I dunno, n/naka.

I just am old, tired, and mad, and like to treat myself.

I've given up on German knives entirely, save for maybe Messermeister.

I love carbon Sabatiers from France.

But I am so far over the nerdrizon, it's not even funny. My favorite knives are made with Hitachi white paper 1 or 2. They need sharpening ~ weekly, but I can adjust them, which I love.

I poo-poo it, but her Masamoto does NOT mess about.

My parents were both born mid-war and are very pre-Boomer (so very much so that I suspect my mother of having been in at least two duels), and mom likes a sharp knife, but she did have words for me when the knife I'd sharpened got stuck in the cutting board.

Oh, me too!

But I also really do think we offer a better price by a smidge.

(Unless, of course, you're filling a freezer. Then, Dartagnan's one-shipping-rate-fits-all policy is hard to beat. Tell no one, unless they have a house too small for a chest freezer, then they're stuck with us!)

And I think even with our mark up, we're a shade cheaper than Dartagnan's retail price + their shipping.
