We don’t do much about Easter around here. The kid is too little to know about the Easter Bunny yet. Danny works at the restaurant on Sundays. We’ll have a long morning together, a big breakfast (probably with bacon), the paper, and laughter. Then Danny will drive to work and Lu and I will play. (Hopefully, it won’t be raining the entire day, so we can be in the garden.)
But I tell what I wish we had done for Easter. I wish we had cured our own ham.
Our friend Lisa Fain, also known as Homesick Texan, cured her own ham. (That’s her photograph of it up there too.) And we are so inspired. She makes it look so easy. And delicious.
Go on over and read Lisa’s accounting of the home-cured ham. Then, tell us if you cure a ham too.
Also, are you having pork for Easter? If so, in what form? (And if you are reading this after Easter, what did you have?)

oh goodness,
I saw this @her blog the other day and am just blown away by how freaking awesome she is to have taken it upon herself to cure her own ham.
I think you should go ahead and cure your own, maybe it’ll be fun!

Am only reading this today! We had a pork fest here in North Tipperary with my Dad and my sister who was visiting from LA. We had our own home-reared pork with lots and lots and lots and lots of crackling! Totally yummy!
We didn’t have pork, but looking at that picture makes me want to have pork soon. I love the idea of curing my own ham and getting to play with the flavor.
