Pork sirloin cured and packed into red casings then sliced. Great for Ham n eggs or Eggs Benedict.

cdavis @NDMike I think they approved by the way it disappeared. It was a pig trifecta. The family visiting was two cousins and their spouses. I reminisced with them about the first time I saw a hog slaughtered and hanging in a smoke house. It was my Uncle, their dad, who introduced me to how the food we all love so much, was produced. The first Country ham I tasted was one he raised, slaughtered, cured and smoked. I’ve been hooked ever since.
GWG8541 great memories to share! Family Traditions are so important. I love introducing my kids to things that have been passed down!

I had some family visiting this weekend from the great state of Tennessee. My wife has been wanting to eat a little better and we have been, but this weekend was time for some good comfort food. I got up early to prepare a decent down home breakfast for 8 of us. I was too busy to snap pics while cooking, but managed to take one of my plate at the end. The sausage was my first batch of Walton’s Holly. The entire fare was Country ham, bacon, scrambled eggs, and biscuits with gravy from the Holly sausage. I also put out homemade grape jelly I canned from last year.

Tex_77 all you used for the brine was sweet tea? How long did you leave it in the brine? I am intrigued by this!

Had to have some hot grilled Bif, so here we are. But, had to keep it healthy too & get those veggies. Now you have Red Potatoes, sweet corn, & green beans from the garden plus hot grilled crooked necked squash too. The squash & taters are seasoned with Walton’s Beer & Sriracha seasoning & it is good! -

Its scallops with asparagus from our garden, red bell peppers, onion, and garlic, stir fried with noodles. It calls for sea scallops halved, but we could only get bay scallops, which turned out fine. We have even done it with shrimp. Its a great dish to use the fresh asparagus and is pretty easy to throw together.
