I will admit, it may be a darn tootin' stupid thing to write about.
But hey, give me some cred here. It's not a post about money or politics!
Anybody can come into a post like this. Republicans, democrats, poor people and rich people and those in between. Hell, even the veggietaryans can come in here and say a thing or two.
About cutting up meat. Pork to be exact. It's a virtual staple in the Porwest household as some have become all too aware. There ain't a safe pig anywhere near where my plate is, I'm just saying.
I mean, even the safest, smartest little piggy in the brick house constantly considers his days are probably numbered.
Well, the long and short is that I had some pork steaks left, three of them to be exact, from another dish I made the other night that I decided to use fresh pieces for rather than thaw out some I already had in the freezer...
And I was like, "Hey, I don't have any cut up for stir fry meat, soups, or stews!
So, that's what I did. I took those three pieces of pork steak and cut them up, weighed them in my weigh bowl, a name for it I picked because I don't know what the hell else to call it, but it is just a bowl with a built in scale on it, and wrapped one pound each into freezer paper.
For stir-fry, or soup, or stew, or whatever my heart desires.
Because that's how I roll. Chop-chop! And Imma 'ventually gonna eat it. Which makes me think I'd have been a terrible source for Looney Tunes to be Yosemite Sam cause Imma gonna get 'dat wabbit has a much better ring and cadence to it than Imma gonna get 'dat Porky, which probably would have triggered some labor dispute or discrimination suit or something from Porky Pig.
Does any of this post make sense? Nah. Should it? Nah. Is it just for fun and for the hell of it? Hell, yeah.
Meanwhile I could give you some advice on how to invest in pork belly futures just to keep on some sort of typical topic, but that would just ruin the whole flow of wherever this thing went anyway.
So, I'll just leave it all at that and say see you on the next one? Works for me.
P.S. The image is of a baked potato which has absolutely nothing to do with pork or this post.

@porwest They've definitely not had pork and sauerkraut. They'd change their minds.

You’re wrong. There’s bacon on that potato.
And relax, I’m sure someone will make pork a political issue sooner or later (if they haven’t already).

A couple of people noted that and won the prize. I thought it was kind of clever, no? Just adds to the whole nonsensical quirkiness of the whole post that had SOME reason to it, if just a tiny bit. lol
By the way, isn't pork already a political issue? It's all that stupid spending the government does. lol

So if I understand you correctly, you are telling us you really like pork and that we should invest in pork belly futures.

Bingo. You also win the prize. Indeed, there is a bit of pork on that potato which, in turn, makes the potato picture relevant after all—I was wondering when I posted it how many people would catch that. You are the second so far, but based on your time stamp, I think were probably the first.

And here I thought you were gonna tell us about the Porwest twist you put on a baked potato.
Pork is sooooo good. Too bad I don't eat it anymore.

We had pizza, and will have birthday cake leftover from last night for dessert. Easy peesy.
Now I will do some crowdtap stuff, and finish watching this movie.

Now that my husband and I are empty nested, we eat more pork. Three of our four kids did not like pork. They were beef and chicken eaters. Now we can cook pork every meal if we choose. Bacon is the best. However, I could never raise pigs for meat. If I had them, they would be pets.
