Just finished taking the ambient temperature outside. (note.. burned up pasture in background)
According to the following:
“USDA Lowers Pork's Minimum Cooking Temperature To 145 °F”

If I were to kill a hog right now, all I would have to do is raise the temperature of the meat another 35° F for it to be safe to eat!
Heck, I could do that by just placing it inside my truck for a while.
Maybe just come back in the morning and have a meal.
Or if I didn’t want to wait that long, the pavement here is at least 170° today.
I could cook the hog (whole) on my sidewalk….or just save myself the trouble altogether and go find a road-kill.
Sheeeeesh! Is it this hot everywhere? It has got to be affecting the animals.
