I must be recovering

[xraytheenforcer]

because I'm back to being bitchy. I suppose I should celebrate, but I'd really just like to have the non-bitchy, non-exhausted me back.

I left work early yesterday and ended up at the bookstore. I did not buy any ridiculous books, nor anything at all to do with sub-Roman Britain, but I did purchase a really cool cocktail history book for Doug. I was also just about to nab a "Vegetarian Italian" cookbook (I'm always on the lookout for good polenta ideas), when I spied a huge, pink tome and knew I had to buy that instead.



That's right. I bought a 370-page book on pork, written by the restaurateur son (and grandson) of a butcher. It even has a recipe for making blood sausage and multiple recipes for pigs' ears. So, yeah.

From vegetarian Italian to 370 pages of pork? That's a dramatic turnaround.

Mmmm Pork...

I am now required to inform you of the official pork marketing board slogan down here:

"Get some pork on your fork!"

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

FUCKING BRILLIANT.

I am vastly amused that there could be so many pages devoted to such a thing. Egad.

Pig is a very important food group.

"Pigs' ears' in Germany is a puff-pastry-with-sugar-in-double-spiral-form dish.. I take it it's something else when it shows up in a book about pork.

...Why did I read '370-page book on porn' when I reread this post in order to come up with a comment? -_-
Well, 'make your own blood sausage' has something hardcore to it.

1. I need to learn to edit comments,

2. I take it you have tried polenta with parmesan and parsley? That's one of my favourites.

Are there any recipes for London Pork that Sean can make use of?

Pig is one of the most important foodgroups.

That is so bad, it actually becomes awesome!

It also totally pawns our bland slogan: "Pork, the other white meat."

Just thinking about this book makes me hungry.
