Actually, it's just hog cheeks--the facial kind. If you think of it, bacon is pork belly, so it makes the jowls sound better! :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390325505351159920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046348962517872270.post-20548484232734561032011-11-03T22:01:58.241-04:002011-11-03T22:01:58.241-04:00Yum, love bacon!

Anyway, I'm just north in East TN. I'm guessing 225. They'll be much bigger in early December! The acorns will make for the most delicious pork! And consider curing at least your bacon (be sure and get the jowl bacon) yourself. It is really very simple. Shoot me an email (f and k hoffman at tds dot net) and I'll send some links.<br /><br />KristinKristinhttp://www.solarfamilyfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046348962517872270.post-19590248279415166702011-10-25T10:06:22.463-04:002011-10-25T10:06:22.463-04:00That was an extremely helpful post, as well as hil...That was an extremely helpful post, as well as hilarious. Thank you, Walter! We will try it today! Fortunately, 4 and 8 are used to us scratching and petting them, so it shouldn't be too hard except for perhaps the hugging part. We haven't tried that yet. The kissing I think we'll probably save for when our relationship is more committed . . .Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390325505351159920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046348962517872270.post-28782263066186307272011-10-25T07:05:34.271-04:002011-10-25T07:05:34.271-04:00See how I weight pigs with a string:
