Can you guess what I'm making?

If you were deep fat frying that, wouldn't you be getting more fat out than in ???

I know, but I just could not resist it. ;D

Magicman you got that all wrong you would be deep fat frying it to seal in all those good yummy juices. Eating dry pork would be like chewing on an old shoe. :D

Are you okay Norm? :D

Norm · December 05, 2011, 07:29:48 AM

Good here, we had the spare ribs from the pork belly last night made on the egg. Problem was like you noticed the trim off the spares was very close so not much meat on them but very tasty. This is the first time in ages I've had decent pork.

Yes I understand about the DF frying but mine is not to question why. :D

Don't get yoreself in the hot fat, Norm

I finished up with the bacon this morning.

And then onto the slicer.

I'll wait until Patty is feeling better to fry some up. I don't she's up to eating bacon for some time yet.

Looks good Norm. I have about 25 lbs of it I need to go take care of that's curing right now, plus 2 hams. Instead I'm sitting here drinking memosas with Lindy. Bad idea. I have to get this done today. Go back to work tommorow.

I don't know how you guys could go through this thread post-by-post.

I had to kind of skip through rather quickly on account of I was getting mighty hungry.

Man that looks good Norm!

It don't get much better than that!

Thats fine looking bacon Norm, as fine as it gets.

LeeB · December 18, 2011, 06:51:44 PM

Just got finished bagging and tagging all of mine. No pics though. The upright fridge in the basement is slam full of pig with more in the chest freezer and more still in the freezer section of the fridge in my shop. Gonna have to buy another freezer for the steer we have to butcher when I get home next time.

Mooseherder · December 18, 2011, 07:57:08 PM

Can't get any better than that.
It looks good.

thecfarm · December 18, 2011, 08:34:25 PM

We call that slab bacon up here. That looks some good. Eat a pound of that with eggs and toast and that will stay with you until well past noontime.

isawlogs · December 18, 2011, 08:46:37 PM

Eat a pound of that with all of the rest and you may be getting back up for noon :D :D :D

WDH · December 18, 2011, 09:27:23 PM

Norm, I need that for Christmas morning 8).

SwampDonkey · December 19, 2011, 03:05:21 AM

I couldn't imagine eating a pound at a time. No wonder there is heart disease. ;D

thecfarm · December 19, 2011, 07:26:13 AM

I can and just about have, Can't be sitting down in front of the TV all day. If a person goes outside and works,they will work it off. I'm not talking about running equipment the way you would drive a car either,just sitting pushing a few levers are not going to do it. Need something that does not have a key in it to burn off that pound of meat. ;D I still have rocks to dig out and rough parts to be leveled out. I forgot been in a cold spell,everything is froze now. There is always next year.

Norm · December 31, 2011, 09:32:46 AM

I foodsavered the bacon and froze it for use later. I took a package out before we left for Madison and Patty and I gave it a try this morning.

Two fresh eggs over easy with muffin bread to finish off with. The verdict was this was the best bacon we've had in ages. The smoke flavor which initially too much really mellowed and gave just a light hint of it. Although quite a bit of work I'd do it again.

My belly just growled!

Raider Bill · December 31, 2011, 03:06:07 PM

Great minds think alike I tossed in some buckwheat pancakes and New York State Maple Syrup and I buy sides of smoked bacon from a little smokehouse in Tenn.DELISH!

WildDog · December 31, 2011, 03:51:40 PM

You guys have done it to me again, 07:40am here I just got in for breakfast from strip feeding the steers and was going to have someting lite (cereal). Think I will have to re-evaluate :D

Well done, Norm that bacon looks real good, Bill the problem I can see with yours is there's not enough bacon :D
