In my kitchen…
…is beautiful, fresh, locally grown meats. Or butcher is wonderful and completely open to our many questions about where everything comes from. This weekend we bought their house smoked bacon, their cured ham hock, homemade cabanossi, and some sliced ham off the bone.

…a list of things to do before we go away sits on the table. It’s growing and having things crossed off daily. Currently on the top of the list is, purchase more chicken food.

Hi Clare,
I would be very interested to know where this butcher is. I live in drysdale and am looking for somewhere to buy such things. Alos, think I may buy the same manure as you lol.

Tanya, thanks so much for your comment. The butcher is in Portarlington on Brown St. It really is a great butcher! She does great manure doesn’t she! 🙂

I wish my vegetable bill was $18/fortnight. I would spend that per day. I love the look of the ham hock soup. So many vegetables! What a lovely warming dinner xx

The soup was lovely! We’ve only recently discovered the local farmers market and it has reduced our veggie bill a lot!

That soup look great and yes, i would love a local butcher that’s small and friendly. Ours are all majors or wholesale with many butchers. No time for chat.

Love the soup. We buy our vegetables every day to keep them fresh. But your garden will supply you with even fresher ones. At the moment, our kitchen is full of dirty dishes from a dinner party my son held last night. He said he would wash them this morning but he is still asleep and it’s after midday.

Hopefully he does those dishes soon! I can’t wait for our garden to be producing!
