Meat-curing Party (Insert your own joke here...)

We went to an interesting party in February hosted by a Vanderbilt professor who is visiting the SEC this year. We cured our own meat! Yes, you heard that right. Here we are preparing pork to make pancetta. And, yes, none of us got food poisoning. It's quite the process -- you have to marinate the pork in the fridge for a week and then hang it in a cool place somewhere in your home for a couple of weeks. Then you can cook it up and eat it. Forget Pampered Chef and jewelry parties, ladies, this is what you need for your next party event!

I think Sean looks quite handsome in his flowered apron.

Craig is our Master Chef.

My friend Stas looks like she could have her own cooking show, don't you think?
