This is my second attempt... first cooked way faster than I thought it would so it's internal temp was 180, tasted good, but was essentially ham. This belly's skin had the nipples on it. It disturbed me much less than I would have thought. If nothing else I have learned I am certainly NOT a vegan in hiding.

Very cool. We won a slab of uncured belly in an auction at Cochon 555, a traveling porkfest based out of Atlanta which involves 5 heritage breed pigs, usually Berkshires, 5 Chefs, and 5 Wineries. You should check it out. Loved, loved, the Caja China... I found your blogsite when I was Googling for a bacon cure recipe, and have read a bunch of your stuff. Very cool.

It's my first time to see a doughnut with bacon toppings. I can't imagine the taste of having the bacon matched with the sweetness of maple frosting but would love to try one though. :) Amazing!

I rate Kaliber and Claushaler different but equal. I rotate them for variety. I like them both. Funny thing, I used to drink a lot of beer for a little guy. Now, just a couple of N/A are all I want and I go for days with none at all. I am at the point where I can now go "out for a beer" with a crowd but few bars and restaurants have any N/A except the Amurikan swill like O'Fools. I tell them it's undrinkable and order a nice glass of water. I gave up real beer (Guinness when I could afford it) after an attack of pancreatitis, at age 60, which will really get your attention.

A website called www.fredflare.com sells the bacon soap you bought (as well as bacon bandaids, bacon floss, bacon jellybeans, and best of all, a bacon wallet (http://www.fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=5045&cat=108).
