Pork Chops (Provided by Joseph, form the pig that is in his freezer in my basement)

So there is a clear difference between the breeds of hogs and the taste of the meet.  It is not even fair to compare your standard breed to the vast majority of the heritage breeds that I've tried.  Good stuffs.  If I'm not mistaken, it's a Berkshire pig that he got butchered for him (as opposed to the Hereford, I normally buy).  They were quite good.  simple pan sear, salt and pepper.  I'm looking forward to tasting when Joseph starts smoking some of the rest of the pig parts (bacon, etc).  I served with corn and apple sauce.

The tostadas, from lat week, except for with chorizo

Worked well, probably even better.  Good stuffs.

Shepherd's Pie (with pork, not lamb)

delayed until today.  I didn't get home early enough to make this on Tuesday, so today it is!

Spicy Tuna Pasta

I really think that Cook's Illustrated may need to go through and revisit some of their older recipes.

Jalapeno chicken Salad

Not as spicy as you might think, but not a bad combination of ingredients to make a chicken salad.  I had those on Joseph's jalapeno bread (so good) and Shannon had it on the wheat ciabatta.
