Since I hadn’t planned on making it, I hadn’t looked at the recipe before I left and didn’t pick up the herbs I needed.  Kate to the rescue - her herb garden had plenty of thyme and rosemary, which, along with some juniper berries provide the spice.

I’m kind of excited - it looked great.  I’ll keep my fingers crossed.  My biggest concern is the mold problem.  I’d tried once hanging a pork loin that was too big to fit into a casing, and it got moldy much faster than anything else.
