That must have been a fabulous meal! <br /><br />Stuart's family in Virginia used to butcher at least one hog on Jan. 1 every year. I participated at least once. <br /><br />Your own pig butchering/hog roast sounds wonderful. And I just might tackle that pie!Shirleyhttp://www.100memoirs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220898322074253702.post-9675338520971069362011-09-25T17:05:43.873-07:002011-09-25T17:05:43.873-07:00Sem,
