Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is offered In memory of my Mother Ike.
To my recollection Mom was a great cook and enjoyed putting together a robust farm meal.
I can remember her making head cheese, pickling heart and tongue, frying brains, making soap, etc. You didn't waste any part of a pig.
