I went freezer diving and found a Pork Loin down on the bottom. Thawed it out and found it still had the bone attached.

I got to looking and said to myself, "Self we gonna have us a small rack of Baby Backs for a snack on" Boned out the Loin and cut off the Baby Backs.

I will take the loins up to 145 IT then pull and chill. Then I will cut them into 1/2-3/4 inch pork chops for on the grill later. Will post a pic of them all sliced up.
After a couple of hours at the Party.

Party's all over. I had to pick the kids up from school, so the IT got to 155*. Brought in the Loin and let it rest for an hour. Sliced and Vac sealed. Really Really Juicy, as you can see from the pics.

SS,
There's 3 more of these fella's down there. So I do believe they is from the Hog I had butchered. So they would be from the locker plant. For $85 I don't expect them to make all the pretty cuts like they do in the stores.
Thanks for the info, Tenpoint. If you had a whole hog butchered for $85.00, you got a deal! I wish they had those companies around now that my Parents used. They would supply you with a chest freezer if you agreed to buy a certain amount every month. You could order whatever you want, or go with package deals designed for family's.

SS,
I can buy a package deal of either beef or pork at the grocery store we go to for around $100. I prefer to buy a hog from the local farmers for $100 and then get it butchered. Can usually get 'em cheaper if they have one that has a bad leg or something causing them not to get full market value.
Man o manacheviez, they look tasty. Drool bucket is right here with me. :D :D
Now I'll look in the freezer for a pork loin. ;)
Do you grill or fry them further or just warm them up when you are ready to eat them?
I am drooling now.
I WANT MEAT NOW............................ ;D

I usually throw them on the grill to get the grill marks and heat them through. Momma has pan fried them to heat them but I prefer the grill.
When I lived in Indiana, pork deals were a dime a dozen. In California they do not exist. Want some nice thick chops? Sure, go to Whole Foods and pay 10 bucks per chop. In this economy I think some of the wholesale suppliers might break their rule of not selling to home users. Even the Costco prices have jumped sky high.
10.5 looks good save me some ;D

Going freezer diving tonight.
