Great idea! I need to catch up on TAL, as well as NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. Though, does the fast count if you're listening to people talk about tv? :D Day 11: Try a Media Fast Apartment Therapy January Cure |

I like to dice it up and store it in the freezer (a Ball canning jar with a plastic lid works really well). Then you can use a bit at a time. What Can I Make With Cured Chorizo? Good Questions |
