The construction projects are going well, and everyone is having a good time. We had an awesome Passover Seder on Monday evening (because it was the best time to fit it in), and Lasagna dinner yesterday was absolutely delicious. Believe me, you missed something special. Today we are having huge 2/3 lb. hamburgers cooked up by Mr. Sifford, and I'm pretty sure that the meat is 100% pure Longhorn meat from the Stonger's cow. I am looking forward to dinner here in a few hours, and you can believe that!

Loved all of the pictures. When is your daughter getting married?
The pictures are great! It looks as if you all are having a wonderful time.
We raise and butcher our own hogs but we don't cure and smoke our own bacon. I'd like to...and we have a large smoker...I guess I'm just a little nervous to make an entire batch and have it not turn out. Can I please suggest a blog post, if you have the time, on your recipe and process of making your own bacon?
Thank you,
Heather
Anonymous, The date is not set yet. We're playing it by ear. We'll make an announcement here when we know, but thanks for asking!
MHQ, I would love to do a post on making bacon. Maybe next week, so check back and I'll try to put one together.
Michael
