not sure what salo is and the Google did not turn up anything...we used salt pork and called them 'squawkies'...but more often than not, it was butter and or sour cream w/our pirohy

I finally used some of the goat we received from a friend; we made a curry. It was fine, good even, but I have a little mental block about eating it. DH will have to finish it all, I'm afraid.

I quit eating goat when I quit drinkin'
Blech...

Some of the best meals I've ever had were Greek goat and Italian goat - usually simple kabobs over a very small wood fire (think small hibachi with twigs or grape stems), garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and sage infused olive oil drizzled over while it roasts and finished with a small squeeze of lemon just prior to serving - HEAVEN!

Good Golly - last time I drove through Texas it seemed ya had more goats than cattle - EAT'EM!

Mills County Texas is the meat goat capital of the World...they can have em'

One freezer down and 2 to go. The contents created 2 wonderful soups/stews: chicken and beef. I found chicken and beef broths, 2 freezer-burned chicken breasts, 3 freezer-burned t-bones, 2 beef gravies, one chicken soup, heirloom tomatoes, peas, parmesan rinds, beef bones and innumerable bread ends, obscure flours, and Chinese herbs. i also liberated 8 Tupperware containers of varying dimensions. Frank, you will enjoy that the small, round container is bait (minnows) for pickeral fishing in the spring!!

Wino, good work! I think we'll never have an empty freezer, but at least now I know nothing in there is less than 1 year old.
Shepherd's pie for dinner last night, I have 1 more in the freezer. Pulled a 4 cup container of mashed pots from the freezer on sunday for dinner.
I bought 2 centre cut pork loins last week at Costco, since they were 1-already cheap and 2-$5 off. So a 2 foot loin for $10. I'm going to halve one and vac seal the halves and cube the other for souvlaki.

On filling freezer mode this weekend. 3 bags of boneless skinless chicken legs (in a teriyaki marinade), 15 containers of pasta sauce, about 180 meatballs (from around 10 pounds of beef/pork/veal), and tomorrow am turning 10 pounds of ground beef into taco meat.
All this since I got a job and start on April 2nd. So I'm trying to fill the freezer with easy things for DH and me for weeknight meals and/or things that can go into a slow cooker in the a.m.

Yay! Congrats.

Congrats, jean! Now let's put our good thoughts to work for my husband, who lost his job last week.
