    Possible Nitrite Burn on Butt Bacon

    I said coarse grind , but I used cracked . I do mine myself in a molcajete . It can " stain " the surface . Not sure if that's what happened here , but kind of looks like it .

    Weekend Inspirations

    The email options in my opinion are good . I changed mine a few years back , and it stopped the clutter . I say " clutter " , but it was all things I had checked that I wanted . Check / uncheck what you want / don't want , and makes sure you hit save at the bottom of the page . I did however...

    Possible Nitrite Burn on Butt Bacon

    That the biggest reason I asked . I've had coarse ground black pepper discolor the surface . Not sure about the excessive liquid . My opinion is if your amount are correct by weight it should leach a certain amount , then reabsorb . If there's more liquid than can be absorbed I would think...

    Possible Nitrite Burn on Butt Bacon

    I think you're fine . What else was in the bag when curing ? I've had added seasonings discolor the surface . You might have missed it before it reabsorbed , but I wouldn't worry about that either . Good looking bacon . I'd get it smoked up .

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    I started working when I was 14 , but my second job was an Usher in a movie theater . Had to be 17 , so that was 1977 . $1.90 an hour plus 2 movie passes . Loved that job . Like said , it set a standard and protection for the workers .

    Cutting boards.

    Don't be . I'm currently making a plan . 12 oz. at a time . Ended up with a bad margin on the one end . Had to cut it off , and remake another 2 sections , and glue that back on . Then I had a bad router moment on the bottom . I'll fix it tomorrow when no one else is home . Remember it's...

    Cutting boards.

    Yup . Nothin wrong with that . Steve , run the edge , put a juice groove in it , and oil it up . That will bring it to life for sure .

    Cutting boards.

    Cutting boards.

    I bought a Ryobi 600-E back in 1992 . 3 1/2 HP plunge . It sits in a table . The Bosch palm is a great tool . My others are vintage Craftsman 1/4 " 1 1/2 hp . This new Bosch has the features of the Ryobi plus a changeable base . $152 is a great price for that .

    Peasant Bread

    I usually have some Sour dough on the counter . I'd say side by side you can tell the difference , but without that , I would agree . This is more " pastry " to me . I like jelly or preserves on this . Butter or cream cheese on the sour dough . It's really good Brian . Just took this sourdough...

    Cutting boards.

    Could be either one . I was at the hardwood yard this morning . Looks like Padauk , but is a bit more red . Whatever it is , it's nice . They had a new stack of purple heart . Not sure I get the attraction there . Ran a bunch of cherry through the planer . Went to put the hose back on the...
