I just looked up the Iberico - sounds very good. I will have to check that out to see if they’re available in Canada. The kids had to drive for over 2 hours north to get these pigs they got. They’re thinking of breeding a few every year, as there are now so many people into homesteading, and concerned about the jabs as well. Also, just a nice pastured pig is more flavorful.

I also looked up the Berkshire pig, considered the best pork in the world. That’s another one I’ll have to check out. These little wooly ones are adorable. Curly wool lol.

Tired tonight - cleaned and blanched and bagged about a bushel of green beans. At least I can still be useful....even though I’ve officially (and literally) been put out to pasture!

Yes, I’ve tried the Berkshire bacon. Several years ago. Delish.

You’re too funny….out to pasture.

That’s quite the chore, putting up beans.

My big foodie accomplishment was homemade custard ice cream with TWO homemade sauces … scratch milk chocolate and cheesecake sauce.

A good time was had, by all. We had to let them run through the sprinklers, again, to wear off all of the sugar!
