New experiment! Cured meat!
This is arm roast, salt cured for 4 days, then a soaked in red wine for 4 days. Air dried until 30-40% weight loss. The outside is chewy but the inside is soft and yummy. It is salty with a hint of red wine flavor! Fun!

Wesley the Wether thinks he is a dog. He comes for treats and pets and lays outside the Ranch House door. His personality keeps saving him from freezer camp! He and Mama like to hang out together. Kinda like Thad and his mama. 😂😂

This past winter I learned to make goat cheeses. I got chèvre down. Mozzarella eludes me. I also made cheddar, which has to age and can be susceptible to bad bacteria. I was nervous to open mine. It is GREAT and, importantly, melty!! Whoo hoo!!
