Hi Dave,

 DD> As would I - if ever Im make it. The sausage would, no doubt, come
 DD> from Humphrey's, fresh made daily.

 RH> We don't have Humphrey's around but do understand there's a local
 RH> butcher. Need to check them out and see what they offer, understand
 RH> Tuesdays are their sale days.

 DD> Humphrey's equivalent can be found in small town America more readily
 DD> than in the larger burgs. We have another butcher/meat market/grocer
 DD> in the past few years. Magro's opened in an former Eagle Stupormarkup
 DD> store - so they have more roomy aisles and carry lots more grocery and
 DD> sundry items. And they have a slaughtering operation on-site.

I'll have to check out Whole Foods and Wegman's. I know the latter does
do some specialty butchering but don't know if they go whole hog or not.


 DD> Still, Humphrey's is the "go-to" for many folks. Plus they keep pigs
 DD> ears and pork thigh bones in stock for daggie treats.  Bv)=

When we had Sam, a local pet store in Sierra Vista had the pig's ears.
One of our friends worked there and from time to time would bring home a
discontinued item for Sam. Deborah kept him supplied with pig's ears and
other treats.

 DD> We also have some chicken rustlers - Ciota & Foster - who supply
 local DD> markets and restaurants with fresh chicken. They do not sell
 directly DD> to te public, however.

Too bad. I remember years ago my folks got a buy on whole chickens,
don't remember how they got that deal but had roast chicken once a week
for some months. It was before they got their home freezer so they
rented space in the town's cold storage locker building.

 DD> frries for mash and "Cajun" gravy. My morning blod sugar checks run
 DD> consistent at/near the 95 to 105 range. Unless my croakers have me on
 DD> prednisonme which mucks up bothj my BP and sweetness numberrs.

 RH> I know, I've had "bursts" of prednisone when the asthma has flared or
 RH> morphed into bronchitis. Having had problems with long term prednisone
 RH> use 20+ years ago, I now ask for no more than 10 days worth, doing a
 RH> taper. Helps knock down the crud but doesn't give long term side
 RH> effects.

 DD> I know it's very effective for respiratory problems which is why i put
 DD> up with it. But B/G readings in the 300 range are scary.

Very much so--for me, anything above 120 is scary. This morning it was
92.
