    Weson A Price has an article that says uncured “salted” or pork not soaked in an acidic solution will cause thickening of the blood. They did a study on people and live blood anaylasis. The blood did not thicken if soak in acidic solution or cured with salt. Could you soak the pork the night before in the vinegar then add the spices the next day? Do you think that will change the taste?

      Carrie, you are absolutely correct in your thinking and your question.
      Camille, maybe you would better understand if you knew about Dr. Price.

    So I have to ask, after your article about Stu…

    Is he playing the guitar on your cooking video “soundtrack”?

    Hey Shaye ~ First….it looks and sounds DELISH. I will most definitely be making this dish. Second…(and this is NOT a criticism!), I CANNOT believe you use KETCHUP! (don’t get me started….but, if it were me, I’d use tomato paste. you’re already using sugar…so you don’t need to add. Ketchup? Really? Okay. I’m done.) Lastly…I LOVE your hands. You have STRONG hands. And they remind me of mine…before the joint crap invaded. Still, tho, when I was a young lass I used to say “I have old lady hands”. I now realize that those words actually affected my physiology. So….no matter WHAT….LOVE YOUR HANDS. They’re strong, beautiful hands that are, no doubt, fullALove! Your videos are awesome. You inspire me (and, I”m sure, many others) with your wholesome-ness. Thank you, Dear One!
