Self sufficient living

Yesterday Paul, my Dad and I spent the afternoon making pork sausage from some of the meat from the pigs we butchered a month ago. Then Paul and I came home and made spaghetti with the pork sausage. There is a really good feeling about becoming self sufficient. Being able to control exactly how the animal is raised and cared for, what it eats and then what you do with the meat. It's just a good feeling, plus delicious!
