How ironic. I wrote that line last year about this time! However this year the snow was just about gone and then boom last Friday we got 6 inches. Not flaky powder like usual but wet smushy stuff that bogs down my 15 passenger van, downs power lines and keeps us snug at home.

Hope you're not feeling too neglected but I'll make this short and sweet. I am announcing John's new blog/website Confessions of a Butcher.com
I've posted a year's worth of John's articles that have been just waiting for all to see. You can see quite a few on the far right side by titles or just click on the archives and read away.

Take your choice of Perfect Pizza Pockets for Picky Boys or Dueling Pot Roasts, etc.

I've also got a few postings, with several more past years to post on Secrets-of-the-butchers-wife site
No guarantees on when I'll get the next official newsletter out but information will be posted pretty frequently on the sites listed above.

I will send out a short note when John is scheduled to give a free lecture at the Ashton, Idaho Community center on How to Save Money on Meat and anything else exciting that comes up.
Take Care and I hope all is well with you and yours.
