    whats with the rub???

    Normally I would just make my rubs or sauces like anyone else and just mix up stuff that I think taste good. I just like to have other recipes to try out or use as a base to build on. And for what it's worth Sometimes I make some pretty horrible stuff that I just toss out. Same wit making beer...

    Favorite Beer

    lol I brewed a pliny clone while i was in germany. I lot of the folks out there that I let try it hated it. Ive never had an actual pliny so i had nothing to compare it to but I thought mine was pretty damn good.

    Well this was really good. I can't wait to make more of these. And different variations of it too. The only question I have is about the bacon. The bacon never realy seemed to cook. The outside looked amazing but on the inside that was up against the roll just wasn't cooked, and where the bacon...

    Doh! The bacon was not nearly as cooked as it should be. Back in the oven it goes.

    Just took it off and threw it in the oven for just a few minutes to crisp up the bacon a tad. Gonna let it cool for a second then slice it open. I think it's gonna be good. If it tastes half as good as it looks and smells it's gonna be a hit.
