These broke down into:

  • 8 lbs of cubed meat and 2lbs of cubed fat for sausage – 1/2 is frozen, the other 1/2 got turned into 5lbs of Sweet Italian Sausage
  • 3lb blade roast (dinner tonight w/ braised cabbage)
  • ~3lb of bones and scraps – frozen, to become stock
  • 2lbs of extra meat and fat for the next sausage batch

I also bought a ~12lb pork belly. It broke down into:

  • ~1lb of skin, frozen until I decide to make some cracklins
  • ~3lb of “short” ribs, frozen, to be smoked
  • 2 x 4lb belly pieces – 1 is in a cure right now to become some bacon, the other is frozen and will become pancetta
