From the blue waters, to the green of ramps, though the red of finger chiles, we got you though most of the spectrum. Not infrared though, that would be weird.
A salmon cake, made to perfection, showing off its lucious ramps, its hithercometoo red finger chiles, its parsley, lemon, agrumato, salt, and white pepper. Yearn for it, and it can be yours.

Brought home a couple turkey legs last week and cured them. Confitted them Friday. Today, I made turkey cassoulet and turkey rillettes. #DayOffCookin

We may or may not be open today, Meatketeers. We're experiencing technical difficulties. Watch this space and I'll keep everybody posted if we managed to cobble everything back together.

Samuel Beckett wrote of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, something very like, "if you do not like it, you are not pure enough to receive it." I've listened to folks dissing turkey all month. What tedium, as Sam B would say. It's delicious. Not trying to drag anyone at all, but you guys?

Oh my lord n' butter was today a lot. But I got to debone a duck AND teach others how AND bare my teeth at someone asking me to do a math midway through. Stupid math-er! Can't talk. Stabbin'.

I apparently cooked (and supposedly ate) this at some point this week. Your friendly neighborhood meat mongers are tiiiired, y'all. I'm so damn glad Thanksgiving is almost over and there are no more holidays to endure until next year. We really dodged a bullet, eh?
A Tamworth/Duroc pork chop that looks to be well cooked enough garnished with red chiles and fresh curry leaves. Think it's on potatoes? With sautéed spicy green mix maybe?

I'm... trying very hard to remember that this is The Shop's Account and not My Account (I really need to join blsky on my own), but, among my friends, when I experience a day of moments wherein I shout at all my phone's news notifications, I post my favorite dubious face. Here it is:

Two weeks off! I'm gonna ask y'all to go easy on the shop while I'm gone. Just remember: we don't turducken; last delivery comes in Fri, so don't order 7 ribeyes on Fri night without calling a day ahead or it gets weird; & pork > beef. If you need me, I'll be here. And no.

Duck. (Yes, "Duck" autocorrect, we barely know these people!) Duck was dinner tonight. It is an easy (if spendy) solution to the wtf should I cook for dinner on this, another deity-cursed weeknight?. Duck (steady!). It's what's for dinner.

Getting sausages posted has been especially problematic this morning (well, it was morning when I started) because my phone and my wi-fi had a difference of opinion regarding one another’s existence. Please to buy sausage to reward my tenacity.*

Made more Pumpkiny brats. Our usual brat recipe but with brown sugar in place of white and a pinch of allspice added to the spice mix, Berkshire pork, organic pumpkin puree, and Lost Boy Pumpkinhead cider. I dig them. They're moving FAST tho.

Morning, Meatketeers. The circuit breaker for the case tripped last night, so we're starting over this morning. Apologies in advance: we'll be a bit behind cutting some things; out of some stuff entirely. I knew letting Benjamin Franklin steal electricity from Mt Olympus was a bad idea.
