About the Porkshop, and past week and a half.  Forgive the different format as we get back into the swing of things after guests, and the porkshop. Think of this episode as a special edition. Meanwhile, I’ve got lots of video to edit to give you even more to listen to and look at. I’ve already posted a couple of things on Facebook which fans of the Wiggly Wigglers Podcast might be interested in.

A trip through the garden after a series of very winter-like storms prompts a dish to remind us of summer–Stuffed Tomatoes. In addition, the usual news and rants. And again, a heartfelt thanks to all who have, who are going to, and who will contribute to the Gastrocast Video Camera Appeal. Together you have helped raise $480 towards the camera so far–updated from the figure mentioned on the show!
