Good Bye, Mr. Pig

Sold! to the highest bidder...okay...the first bidder.

As it happens to all pigs, when they're good and fattened up, it's time go to market to meet their fate. Mr. Pig is no exception. Hanging on the wall at Seattle's Coastal Kitchen, as part of their current Normandy Cuisine theme, he met his new owner today.

He was my Wilbur. Some Pig! I will miss him. Since he's on display through March, I heartily suggest going there to say goodbye and to have a savory supper, of course. But, whatever you do, please don't order pork!

Hello Kelly and Jessica, my two faithful blog loyalists.

Yes, Mr. Pig's new owner made it through the first round of interviews in the adoption process and passed the "smell test" with flying colors! (How about that for an expression of synthesia!) He will be savored, but not eaten!

Merry Christmas to you both!!!

Good thing my 4H piggy friends don't live up there or you would have a bidding war! He is awfully cute.

Hi Marie,

Yes. This makes sense. I see by your profile that your are from beautiful Motown. My beloved Auntie Frances lived in Modesto and when we would drive there for visits, through Manteca, we held our noses calling it Manstinka. What is the color of Manteca would you say?

Happy New Year!
