Yea!

My Freezer in the garage is full! I don't think I could even fit in a kleenex, its so stuffed. I got a 1/4 of a steer and a 1/4 of a hog. I got 3 things I don't know what to do with

• pig trotter
• skin-on pork belly bacon (I bet allanh 's husband Randy can think of something to do with this!)
• beef tounge

I'll figure something out with the pig bits...I'm not so sure about the tounge...I object to eating something that can taste me back. I've never had it before...might be time to try something new.

Tongue is wonderful. Cover with water and simmer until fork tender. You have to skin it while the meat is still HOT. Put the tongue in a colender and rinse with cold water until you can handle it. You may have to skin it while holding the tongue under cold, running water. Using a little, sharp knife, get under the edge of the skin and tug. Most of the skin will just peel off. If you let the tongue cool, even a little bit, the skin might as well be super-glued on. You'll have a terrible time getting it off. After it's skinned and cooled, taste a piece. You'll probably come up with half a dozen possible things to do with it. My family liked it sliced as if it were roast beef. If nothing else, it will make great sandwiches.
