"South China Morning Post reported that Chinese importers have canceled 12,030 metric tons of American pork. ...

''China’s duties on US imports have raised the effective tariff rate on pork shipments to 172%. US pork producers remain at the tip of the spear with China tariffs. The new tariffs make it impossible for American pork producers to compete in that market.'

… China bought $125 million in US pork last year."

A very simple #dinner tonight: #pork medallions with mashed potatoes & gravy.

That’s it.

My knee has kept me inside with limited mobility today, so something reasonably fast that doesn’t require me moving around too much.

Yes, I’ve run out of green vegetables again. I’m thinking of going dehydrated vegies instead of frozen with my next big shop next week. They take up less room & I can buy them in bulk.👍

"Although archaeologists have found large numbers of pig bones at early cities such as Uruk, ruminants—animals including cows with four-chambered stomachs that can digest grass—dominate the written record that evolved in tandem with urban life. Herds of sheep, goats, and cattle were relatively easy for government officials to oversee, says Price. Not so pigs, which can live, breed, and be slaughtered quickly in a backyard lot. The swine didn’t need grazing land, just the day’s leftovers. 'Large-scale management of pigs really wasn’t possible,' says Zeder. 'The small-scale nature of pig raising became a beacon for the urban poor. It existed as a sub-rosa element of the economy.'

Thousands of clay tablets uncovered across Mesopotamia show that scribes gave short shrift to an animal that was difficult to tax. And excavations reveal that those living in wealthy households, palaces, and temples came to prefer mutton and beef, likely reflecting pork’s lowly reputation. Ruminants also provided lucrative secondary products including milk and wool, which became economic mainstays for better-off residents of these first cities."

Over the past 6 weeks or so, I have cooked two boneless pork butts in my dutch oven. (In the USA, this cut of meat is called the "butt" because it comes from the shoulder 🤷‍♀️). I have reserved and frozen the leftover liquid. Today, I thawed it out, added an equal part water by volume, brought it to a simmer, and then froze it in this ice-cube tray. I consider this to be seasoning rather than stock because it has all of the seasoning from the butts in it.

What should I do with the leftover lard?

Dark brown liquid fills the 4 square holes in a silicone ice cube tray. The black mold sits on a stainless steal pan.
