A friend of mine brought in an old cooking book from the early 1940's. It was so much fun to browse through and look up a few recipes.
Today, I move a clever little dresser to the kitchen to set up a coffee bar and free up room on the kitchen counters. I like it.
Day 11 for Valentine projects. This one is for bird lovers. I saw this idea on Graphic Fairy and just elaborated on it. I know someone who likes to watch birds and may like to have this gift. It is a canning jar filled with bird seed and decorated with a bird from the Dollar Store.
Pork Shoulder was for dinner. I rubbed all sides with Pink Himalaya Salt, pepper, and rosemary I grew last year. In a Dutch Oven I browned all sides with a tablespoon of oil.
Popped it in a heated 400* oven for 20 mins. Then lowered to 300* and headed for mass.
Two hours later we had this beauty. This was from a pig we traded for two milk goats.
Dinner was all homegrown except the potatoes. Pork, pickled beans, green beans and potatoes.
Tender and perfect.
It is suppose to snow tonight and lightly in the morning. It has been so extremely warm (we broke a record yesterday at 80* and grass fires are sprouting up due to a flicked cigarette in the dry grasslands. Snow will be welcome relief.
peace
