Here is a description I found online earlier.

Quote:

Taylor Ham is a type of sausage-like pork product made from ham, developed by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey late in the 19th century. It is often called pork roll due to the "roll" or tube-like sack in which it is traditionally packaged....Pork roll generally comes in one-, three-, and six-pound sizes, as well as six-ounce boxes containing eight single-thickness slices or four double-thickness slices. The product is seldom available for retail or restaurant sale outside of New Jersey and adjoining areas like Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In Florida and South Carolina, it is available at Publix's supermarkets, Albertsons in Colorado, Harris Teeter in North Carolina, Byerly's in Minnesota, Wegman's throughout the Northeast and De Laurenti's in Seattle but not many other locations outside of New Jersey. However, there are marketers selling pork roll on the internet and shipping it around the United States.

It looks like sausage, but it's ham and ist is sooo good. It's certainly a Jersey thing.

LOL...It has it's own flavor. It's hard to decribe. It's more like a seasoned (kinda spicey), salty ham. It's really good (and commonly) eaten on a sandwich with egg and cheese. As for cooking it, just slice it (adding little cuts on the sides to prevent curling), toss it into a pan on the stove and "pan fry" it like you would bacon until it is lightly browned.

Yard work is going well. I have already started taking tomatoes and peppers into work since I have so many growing in my garden. I'm back to mowin once a week, but it's been so hot lately I have to time the mowing so I drop get killed by the heat. As for the horse...she's hard a lot of time off, but I still spend time with her. However working her is a bit out of the question due to the heat.

Sorry all. I know I went poof again. Work has been busy as usual. The high heat and humidity have been sucking the life out of me and I haven't been doing much other than work, chores on the farm where my horse is, play with my horse and work around the house. I've been enjoying my garden a lot and love working in it. I really think I will expand the garden for next year. I've also been working on a project for my mom and I have a time deadline on it so been trying to work on that in all of my spare time which amounts to couple hours at night and part of the weekend.

Burner02 · 08-22-2007, 11:07 AM

hiya Dev!
glad to finally hear from ya!

Devlin · 08-30-2007, 06:14 PM

Sorry all, work has not been a fun place and I've been grumpy. Work is busy because it s now sale season and we have a lot of paperwork to do for the sales this time of year. Boss is not just grumpy, but his mind is in left field. His best friend died sunday after a hard battle fom cancer. He started to go see her on saturday, but she told him not to so he turned around and she ended up dieing about 12 hours later. Her death has left him lost and angry and needless to say I feel like I'm getting the blunt of it. I did go on an inteview today, but sadly I'm going to have decline the job offer because it would be a big cut in pay that I can not afford righ now. So I keep looking.

In other news. I had a check up with my endo. The bad news...my TSH is still too low and my T4 is still too high so yet another change in dosage of my Levoxyl. I will have to get my levels rechecked in a couple months. The good news...my screening test for thyroid cancer came back normal this time

However, even though my test is normal, I may have some cells/tissue in my body that may be of concern and I may have to get a treatment down the road. There is other news....my endo sent me for a chest xray to make sure I didn't have any masses in my chest (if I would have a recurrance of cancer it will more than likely will show up in my chest). The good news...no masses, the bad news I have bronchitis which didn't surprise me as I've been having symptoms of a cold/allergies. The bronchitis would also explain the back pains I've been having recently. I'm guessing I will have to go on antibiotics, I just need to find out which one.

Ohh in other news...my old apartment complex made the news yesterday.

Apparently the building on the other side of the one I lived in was condemned yesterday after a water pipe broke in a third floor unit which lead to flooding from the third floor all the way down to the first floor. People in the first floor said water starting coming out of the light fixtures, the ceiling fan, the thermostat, outlets and even the breaker box. The county comdemned 3 apartments, but cut utilitis to all 12 units in the structure forcing residents to move. However despite the units being condemmed, management said there was only "minimal" damage.

Someone needs a reality check and the remaining residents need to get out while they can. Thank god I am out of that hell hole.

katt · 08-30-2007, 06:28 PM

Wow - sounds like you've got alot on your plate lately -

I can totally see how the passing of a friend can disturb your world for a while.. that sucks..

Hope your bronchitis gets better with the antibiotics.

Triple Threat · 08-30-2007, 07:25 PM

Getting out of that apartment and into a house was so much the right move.
