I finally made my way to Southington to pick up our half a pig from the butcher. The freezer is packed full again with the delicious remnants of last year's meagerly abundant garden harvests, along with beef and now pork from Schreiber's Farm. I kept out a loin roast, some ham hocks and fresh bacon for cooking over the coming days. I started fermenting some dried limas to make a batch of the baked beans my mother loves. I'll be visiting her for easter and will have lots of cooked, healthy meals to restock her freezer - home-cooked, convenient foods that she can easily defrost and heat up. I prepare meals like this for myself too because as much as I love to cook, I'm not inspired to do it every single day. Though I am inspired to eat real home-cooked food every day.
In any event, no one's gonna go hungry around here! Peace.

I can't wait until I have a deep freezer so I can get half a pig and half a cow! Organic and free range is the way to go. :)
Your mother is a lucky woman! the lovely thoughts she will have of you as she has her home-made by you dinners!
You are a very thoughtful daugher. We had a Southington near my home in Warren, Ohio. I suppose there are Southingtons everywhere though.
Cheers to home made cooking! ☮
