Wow.  That's kinda' cool. I'm wholly ignorant of the process -  though appreciative of the product!

Thanks. Mine are trained in a different style, and they are dried a bit differently but it all comes out the same  :thumbsup:

 

When people ask me about the process the strangest part to most is that despite starting around January, you don't find out what your efforts hath wrought until late September. You're either like  or  :verymad: .

80,000 is no problem.  It's the last 900...

 

Just another reason I would have made a terrible farmer.

I had a shower right before I started cooking. My wedding tackle was as clean as a whistle.

 

And frankly, I find your suggestion my meat and two veg were anything but spotless offensive.
