To my darling daughters,
As requested here is my very special roast pork dish. You will need to get your butcher to bone out the best part of a prime shoulder of pork and butterfly it.
Next, prepare the stuffing:
Soak 15 dried apricots for about half an hour then chop them all up.
In a bowl mix together the chopped apricots, about 12 prunes (or you can used dates), two very finely chopped shallots, half a cup of ground almonds, salt and pepper. You will need to moisten this mixture with some water so that it all sticks together nicely.
Spread out on one side of the pork about a third of the way in. Cut about six lengths of real string and space evenly under the pork. Carefully roll up and then tie the strings firmly.
Roast in the usual way with potatoes and pumpkin pieces etc. When you think the pork is about ready give it a few gentle pricks. The pork should take about one and half hours to cook, leave it in warm oven to rest while you make the gravy (keep it light).
You are free to pass this on to your children when the time is right but it is best kept as women’s business as I’m sure the blokes would bugger it up.
With love,
Mum (not his real name)

Seems the other leaker has a rather creepy sex life. That’s not a crime. Except where it is. I’ll wait to get worked up when he gets arrested for something clearly related to Wikileaks. Hopefully he won’t be convicted of the crimes for which he’s been arrested. I for one like the thought that the publicity will cramp his style, if he is.

Emmjay, I hope you don’t mind, but I just run into JL and invited him to have a taste of your nice pork roast…I said the potatoes were Kipflers, but of course they are not really suitable for roasting 🙂

Can I have the crackling if I share it with BigM and also make the apple sauce while wearing my Norwegian socks, hand knitted underwear, pink shiny boxer shorts, and brass studded sandals (in the Dutch way)? It is called ‘appelmoes’ but its recipe is secret.

Politicians call this appealing pork preparation “The Pork Barrel”.
Be looking out for further geopolitical “Pork Barrels” as the leaks continue. Happy holiday dining Piglets!
