    Making some andouille!!! Sunday morning..new pics.... finished!!!

    Wow! I want one of those burgers so bad I can almost taste it. I love the texture of the meats mixed together, that's going to be great, you can just tell. Tubed casings? They make such a thing? Hot diggidy, that's awesome! I obviously have some reading to do.

    My Mexican Chorizo (cased)

    Hello! After seeing the other Mexican chorizo recipes posted here, I figured I'd post the ones I made this weekend. If you've never seen Mexican chorizo stuffed, relax, it's sold that way, although loose is probably as common if not more so. I like them cased for a few reasons: Portion control...

    First bacon a success, but have questions... with q-view.

    Pops6927 - From the way you are held in high regard by some of the folks here, I'll take that compliment! I see from your profile you're retired from Radio Shack. If the moderators will indulge me in a quick off-topic snippet, I think I might tickle your nostalgia bone. This is a small part of...

    dic1207 - I can't wait to hear how your bacon comes out. And I have to echo RowdyRawhide's request for the maple dry rub... you can never look at too many recipes! I learn even from the ones I don't use, especially if I can find feedback about them.

    John, maybe you'd be interested in splitting a case? Seeing as how we're so close, it was the first thing that popped into my head. If you're interested, shoot me a PM. fpnmf, don't think I didn't study your bacon post like a kid cramming for midterms. The color! I have plans to try it that...

    First bacon a success, but have questions... with q-view.

    John, I got a locally raised belly from Porter Road Butcher here in Nashville. It was pretty expensive! I like supporting local business, but I will need to source meat from somewhere a bit more down to Earth. Maybe a quarter or half hog farmer direct? If anyone can point me in the direction...

    First bacon a success, but have questions... with q-view.

    Scarbelly, I'm beginning to accept that, why mess with success? My roommate fried up some of our last storebought bacon this morning, and I grabbed some for a snack. Compared to mine it's terrible!  It's funny how your perceptions can change. To everyone else, thanks for the encouragement!

    First bacon a success, but have questions... with q-view.

    Hello, all, thanks for the info that led to my successful bacon - the best bacon I've had. I want to make even better bacon, or at least repeat this batch with less hassle. I have questions... ;) I used the dry method at 4% salt, using the calculator from the articles section of this site, and...

    Hello from Nashvegas, TN

    Hello all! I am a world traveler, and I have a healthy curiosity. This is a treacherous combination at times! From seeing the chef squatting on his haunches, hacking away at bushmeat on a tree stump cutting board, machete in hand, to trying kalia while surrounded by Moroccan prostitutes who had...
