Accidentally "Crunchyish"

I believe that over the past 5 years or so, I have accidentally become a more "crunchy mom."  I suppose it could be augured the crunchy journey began when I started homeschooling 14 years ago.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely crunchy, I took a quiz & rated me at "pretty crunchy."   Some of the questions really don't apply to me anymore since my kids are WAY beyond the baby phase & some decisions are way past made!  I may make some different decisions if I were making them now.   There are also so many different decisions to make now than there were 20 years ago, particularly pertaining to how vaccinations are administered!  

On my kitchen counter today is one of my crunchiest endevours yet. We bought a PIG! Not a live pig. A farm raised butchered pig!  I've been interested in buying a cow for a while now, and the opportunity presented itself to buy a pig a few weeks ago.  It seemed like a good place to start, so we started small with about 40 lbs of pork now in our freezer.  Today, I'm preparing the first of our piggy, which my youngest son has posthumously named "Bacon."  A Boston butt roast is creating a lovely aroma throughout my house.  

I look forward to sharing my pork adventure here over the next few weeks & months!  Just wait till I try wet curing a ham!
