The Blessings of Kindness and Friendship

[LA Pork Butt]

Not many people can live high on the hog for free. Is there a block party in your future?

[CaptainMike]

Definitely going to share the wealth, as they say!

CaptainMike My Pops always said "do good, get good". I guess occasionally karma tastes good !

[Texas Larry]

Thanks for sharing this, Mike. As far as how to acknowledge, maybe just a bottle of really nice wine at the appropriate time?

[CaptainMike]

Wow! Great story, and it sounds like your friend the butcher just wants to bless you. Don't look a gift pig in the mouth...

Now, here's to hoping its a butchered hog, i.e. all the different parts, and not a frozen whole hog. If its the later, a pig roast is in your future... I bring that up because I was recently at Publix of all places, and did a double take at a whole 30-40 pound pig in their freezer section. I am think someone ordered it and didn't come pick it up or something. It was dressed and spreadeagled, shrink wrapped and frozen solid...

[CaptainMike]

It's all cut and wrapped. The funny thing is my friend was almost apologizing because it was done to the original customer's instructions! As you said, I ain't looking that gift hog in the mouth. I mean, how many ways are there to cut up a hog. Hams, chops, steaks, ribs, bacon, sausage.....pretty basic stuff. No whole belly, but you won't hear me complain!

Thanks for a heartwarming story.
