Did you buy it or was it a "project" of one of your kids? I say this because while in the Cub Scouts in the 50s I made one in the shape of a pig/hog--YMMV--as seen from the side (complete with wood-burned eyes, etc.) as a project for my Mother. After she passed it reverted back to me and we've used it ever since. (A family heirloom, lol.) And damn useful, too, as well as decorative. virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577165785872035948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-86466026823628297142012-12-26T08:17:01.301-07:002012-12-26T08:17:01.301-07:00Merry Christmas Buck!

Friend of our friends gifted them with a side of beef (in a manner of speaking) and they shared it with us last night. Dry aged for 12 days, then rubbed down and slow roasted. It was - nearly rare in the middle and delish. Served with wine, of course.Kris, in New Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185696221729269932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-43656957430274074742012-12-26T07:25:40.040-07:002012-12-26T07:25:40.040-07:00We got a little more than a dusting, but not bad. ...We got a little more than a dusting, but not bad. It was very cold. And it started out as sleet making things pretty slick. This morning, I have seen friends post that the streets of Duncan are still a mess. It is not suppose to warm up today. Maybe tomorrow.
