I’d like to catch you up on what I’ve been up to lately, and I guess we can start with the most distant past and hopefully I’ll be caught up with my summer doings by the time autumn… strikes? Does autumn strike?

Michael roasted a pig in his backyard and Men’s Health just ran an article (with video) on the event. Much of the “how-to” is pretty vague and makes it all sound way too easy, because Michael’s meticulous preparations achieved a deliciousness that may escape the do-it-yourselfer reading this article. Still, it was an honor to participate in the event.

And if you were there…if you were still conscious when the headcheese fried wontons came out or got your hands on the deep fried, pork-belly wrapped tenderloin sections, you know this thing had nothing to do with Men’s Health.
