    I gotta quit looking at all these pictures of bacon - I'm starting to dream of quitting IT and becoming a pig farmer.

    Goofed up while thawing....

    The possum that lives in the wood patch next to my house prays for moments like this.  I have a Collie with a very sensitive stomach - she gets only Blue Buffalo chicken and boiled chicken as treats - but I do have the Southeasts most well fed possum for a neighbor!

    Good Deal on a Vacuum Sealer

    I recently bought a little rival vacuum sealer off of one of the deal of the day sites for 25$ and I'm very pleased with it.  Today there is a Kenmore seal-n-save (refurbished) on sale for $34.99 + $3.99 s/h. For anyone interested in getting a vacuum sealer and not interested in spending $100+...

    Making bacon and making up for pics

    OK, time to make up for not providing pics last time.  Making about 10lbs again (I have a small smoker - masterbuilt 7 in 1). Here's what I'm starting with: Kinda thin - but it'll still taste great using Bearcarvers recipe.  1 Tablespoon of Tenderquick per pound on each slab, lovingly...

    Makin' Bacon - It's easier than slicing Bacon!

    lol, love that -- sorry all - will have to be next time.  I didn't take any pics and all I have left is about 8 ounces of scraps.  Gave a bunch to friends/coworkers.  Good news is -> everybody loved it!  What my sister loved about it most is that she made it three days ago and she can still...

    Wow - that's a load of bacon!  That should last at least...a couple of days!

    Makin' Bacon - It's easier than slicing Bacon!

    Made 1st batch of bacon - about 10 lbs worth...following Bearcarvers recipe fairly closely - although I think I went lighter on the onion powder/garlic powder and pepper prior to smoking...  wanted more of the slight sweet and smoky flavors.  I did add a bit of maple syrup after several days. ...

    Pork belly costs?

    Thanks for the quick replies.  I will see if the roads are clear enough to run down to Super H today -- since I'm officially off Craig, I read elsewhere that you made some bacon using BC's recipe -- would you have a link to that?  I've read enough to where I think I'll do fine - but if you...

    Pork belly costs?

    Hi all, I live in Gainesville, GA and am trying to find a place local to buy Pork Belly but so far have had no luck.  I'd like to avoid driving in to Atlanta if I can (moved up here to get away from those 20 mile 2 hour commutes)! I've been through the phone book and called all the local...
