    Astrid I actually make a double batch and freeze half the dough for my biscuits for later! That way I don't have to make them twice. I have choc chip cookie dough in the freezer as well as the biscuit part of jam drops for later....

    Fair point - if you are squeamish then I'd give the link a miss...

    The comical thing was the preparation - the pig had been in the deep freeze in my lockup for a couple of months, so the night before I had several interesting learnings:-
    1. It is much easier to put a freshly killed pig into the freezer than it is to extract a frozen pig that has molded to the shape of the freezer.
    2. When transporting a frozen pig across town, think twice before sitting it in the passenger seat of the car and putting a seatbelt on it....think a third time before driving past an active RBT site!
    3. How the f*&*( do you thaw a 55kg lump of pork overnight?

    A friend of mine had exactly the same problem, except that he'd pulled up at the lights next to a police car. He'd tried to make the pig incognito by putting sunglasses on it, but it didn't work for some strange reason...

    ooh spit - nice one Bear. We have a couple goats out back that are looking rather nice, just need to find a spit. For our Viking feasts we would always do a lamb on a spit. Amazing the number of people at the Vic Markets who freaked out at a whole lamb being carried to the car, some people must be very disconnected to where their cut up meat comes from.

    I'm making my own marmalade at the moment. Damn that Bear, I never even used to eat marmalade and now he has me making it myself!

    Not in the bathtub, unless you're angling for a divorce! LOL
