pigs

I heard the funniest story on NPR's California Report on Friday. They were doing a piece on the annual gathering of chefs at the Ahwanee Lodge in Yosemite. This year's theme was the Whole Hog, where the chefs made food out of all the different bits of a pig. Anyway, they interviewed a woman who said that she'd been a vegetarian for 22 years, then from the insistance of a friend, had a pork shoulder one night for dinner. Her life was changed by that pork shoulder, she renounced vegetarianism and loves eating pork, so much so that she got a tattoo of a pig on her arm. That's a great story. That's the power of pork.
