Decorative cookies ;)

These are so pretty, simple and quite yummy. Butter, sugar, Egg whites, and vanilla or cocoa. Stencil and bake for 5 min then twist into appealing shapes.

The ribs and trotter after my novice attemps at butchery with knives, a cleaver and a saw.
Forgot to take a pic of the finished dish, but it had a thick dark sauce with soy and brown sugar, Ginger and garlic. I was fall off the bone tender and the trotter was totally edible. Hope I didn't scare anyone with the photos!

Butchering day

How to use a whole pig! We broke down into big primal cuts, then into smaller ones. This is prep for a Chinese braised dish with ribs and trotters.
