I love ham. Really, I love all pork products- including rinds and head cheese. Then I was at a friend’s hobby farm and met her pigs.
The bad news is they are so sweet and smart. I mean they are as fun to hang around with as my dog!
What do I do now?

Dear Hippie,
I completely understand your internal swine strife. Pigs are one of the earliest animals domesticated by man, yet are known for their intelligence. Their meat is delicious, yet they can learn their name and come when called.
Poor Lucky Me
I have to agree with you about the soy chorizo from Trader Joes – it gives you all the benefits of eating your chroizo (pronounced Cho-LEEEEEEE-so!) and none of the worry about what it is exactly that you are eating. This morning I had some of that Soy Chorizo with 4 scrambled eggs and rice pilaf all mixed if you know what I’m talkin about. BAM! It was delicious. I later enjoyed an exquisite number 2. Thank you.
love,

Dear Mark,
Great observation- nothing is better than not having to worry about how many hooves and buttholes you are eating with your morning eggs! And a good number two is a nectar of the gods.
