Smithfield, VA

All these years living in Virginia, I never made it out to Smithfield. It seemed so far away, but it really wasn't. It has a wonderful old town charm and the pork products aren't to shabby either. I love my pork products! The photo of the mummified legs of ham had cards and they read right to left. The one in the middle is pretty impressive(oldest ham) and my favorite chef/pseudo hubby- Alton Brown even mentioned it on one of his shows. How could I NOT go and see it for myself? I went with my real hubby, Matthew and Gabriel. It was a nice day trip. As for the peanut, that is one old legume. I just had to add Gabriel in the mix since he is a quick and willing student on how to eat ice cream from a cone and he is just so cute.
