Oh the times are a chang'n.

It was order day today. We picked up a side of grass-fed beef. I didn't know where they got the grass in January, so Trevor the driver informed me it was hydroponic. Either the loads are smaller or I'm getting stronger because I didn't feel my spine crush today. I think I am getting more efficient at taking down a hip, I can see the cuts a lot clearer. It was Chris's last day (he worked the counter) so he was played with a bit. Who knows how long he had a beef gland on his back for? I finished the head cheese, cured some duck breasts and made porcetta.

Karin called me this afternoon and said she picked up Ripley's ashes, she was crying. It's been two weeks but I think it will take a long time before we are totally healed.

On another note, I made it to number 7 on chefdb.com lets make a push to 6 yaaeeeeeeeeh!
