    Is Heart-Healthy Bacon an impossible oxymoron?

    My doctor tells me just the opposite. Drink more water to flush the kidneys out.

    Sourdough Makers Mark/Cherries

    Small world. I am going to Bowling Green next April for a wedding. It would more fun in a Corvette. I, myself, am a Challenger guy.

    Sourdough Makers Mark/Cherries

    Why? Just kidding, Makers doesn't sit around my place very long. That distillery tour is great, but they are kind of in the middle of nowhere.

    Am I Wrong to be Crying Right Now?

    I was on my best friend's account. He passed away last year, and not only do I miss him, I miss being his unpaid intern who had access to Restaurant Depot. Great place to find meat on discount.

    Featured Latest Bacon Project

    I'd trim it off. Did you use any Cure #1, also known as sodium nitrite or Prague powder?

    What Additive Is It...?

    Wow, okay, good to know it's not some chemical they use to clean the processing equipment. I've never seen it on anything I've made.

    My New Recteq Backyard Beast 1200, Condo-Style

    Well, I'm on the top 4th floor in a corner unit, so hopefully the smoke will just go up and away. During the outage, a few of us gathered outside in the parking lot for beers and conversation. I found out that there is a guy on the 2nd floor who also makes his own bacon. Not sure what kind of...

    What Additive Is It...?

    I've been looking at some of the great stuff you all have been making, and this thought occurred to me. What is it that gives some store-bought cured meats, like Canadian bacon or ham, that titanium, rainbow-colored effect? Always wondered if I was being poisoned?

    Well, this was a turn of events.

    Gorgeous! I saw some at the state fair this summer that blew my mind. Yours is right up there, too. My folks went thru a succession of trailers, but this resembles the one I spent much of my youth in. Looks pretty pitiful compared to the new ones.

    Tri Tip- didn't go as planned! quite...

    Agree with following the slicing technique. But when you get that right, you'll be treated to a cut as tender and flavorful as any tenderloin I've had.

    Smoke Meat Hawaiian Style!

    Oh, man. I can almost smell it through the screen!

    Ok, ruined smoked chuck roast has become a very good stew. Next time I'll try something that doesn't take as long. As long as there are no more power outages.

    What she really wanted...

    That looks so good. I really miss fresh shrimp. We used to have about a 2-week season on Spot Shrimp here in Puget Sound. I'd go down to the docks here in Everett and buy it right off the boats. Then they cut it back to 1 or 2 days, and it isn't worthwhile for the fishermen to catch them anymore.

    Shrimp Cocktail

    I know they weren't gourmet, but I miss the days of $1 shrimp cocktails in Las Vegas.
