    I had some good bacon over the weekend, but I couldn't tell you the last time I had it before that. I don't really understand the obsession with bacon. It's good, but when it comes to meat, and espeically pork, there are SO many better options IMO.
    Go on.

    Pork tenderloin, baby back ribs, spare ribs, thick cut pork chops, fresh (uncured) ham. Is that what you meant? Those are my favorites when it comes to pork.

    meh- I prefer bacon to almost all of those. Pork chops never come out tasty- I do like a good slice of a nice ham- but I mean- I'd still prefer bacon.

    All this cured meat talk is making me frisky.... I joined the Carnivore club, They send you a box of cured meats once a month from different regions full of cured meats with all the history and info etc. Its like an art form...This cut of meat from this spot on the animal that's only feed this feed and then cured in a cave in Italy etc.... MMMMM meat.

    I don't know, I had some nice thick chops stuffed with goat cheese, venison sausage, and fresh herbs. It was amazing...

    I have some leftover venison roast smothered in mushroom gravy in my lunch box. It's not ribs and the microwave reheating won't do it much good, but it will have to do for now.

    pop up thermometer. Oh, the sadz I get from that. There's such a horrid variance on the glue used in them that you can't trust them for a proper temp.

    So, a small update, my country ham with the 2 years of age? it's now simmering away in a large pot, going to take it slowly to 170F, pull it, and rest it in the pot liquor until glazing and roasting tomorrow.

    Still thinking of the flavor from yesterday. Nutty, earthy, and the butter that nice unctuous flavor of pig fat, but with a hint of parmesan. None of the smoke I gave it has survived the smoking process, so maybe I'll need to build a small smokehouse and do the next one on cold smoke for a week.

    The flavor of meat aged this long is interesting. It was a naturally nutty tasty pig, but something added by the age, a slightly sweet, acrid flavor. I can't really explain it. So, since I'm worried that the folks I'm cooking this for won't like that sort of interesting flavor... I'm also going to roast a leg of lamb.

    Yeah they were $17 but I think maybe peeps did not know what to make of coffee sauce so he had to move them, Hence the sale!
