What did everyone cook today?

GWG8541 That is some fine looking belly you’ve got there. I sure would like to know your source. If I can even get it around here & 99 99/10 of the time I cannot, then it is way, way, way over priced & doesn’t look 1/8 as good as what you have there.
calldoctoday that was the best one I could find a Costco and it was way to high, but I just wanted to make the dry rub bacon, so I grabbed it. This time, I chose wisely.

GWG8541 It is really nice looking. I used to get them at Sam’s (we do not have Costco here) on a Blue Moon & even then they were over $4.00 lb. I have not been able to get them now for at least a year I am certain as I bought a few new batches of Walton’s brine & then could not find the bacon. None I found ever looked that good though. Still Searching.

zbigjeff it was a Costco belly. They only had 3 and this one looked great on the ends. Finding bellies has been a challenge lately and the prices are way too high.
GWG8541 Same here with non-butcher houses. That’s still a very good piece and more amazing that it came from a warehouse club.

ND Mike its not hard at all. The hardest part for me was the drying and smoke schedule. Not having a smoker meant for this means babysitting it for over 5 hours. I did the final stage in my oven. Im happy with the final product and more importantly, the wife approved. I keep telling her how much easier and better things will be if I by a new smoker.
GWG8541 Good luck being THAT salesperson.

GWG8541 when the wife approves that is a huge bonus!

Using the last of the Mild Italian sausages in the freezer to make sausage with bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and onions in a Madiera sauce. Sous vide the sausages. Then, crisped them up before dumping them back into the veggie mixture. One wanted a roll. The other in a bowl to save on the carbs.

zbigjeff Looks awesome and I’ll bet it tasted even better! What did you wash it down with? A nice red?

zbigjeff Now that looks tasty, either serving method will work for me & my whole family!

Bob Stehlik Selected a Pinot Noir because of it being 84. Maybe, with the leftovers, I’ll throw it over some linguine and have a Malbec. Just enjoying life after “hip lockup”.

calldoctoday Have to admit that the place smelled pretty darn good when the Madiera in the sauce was reducing. Now, I have to start thinking about stuffing some more Italian.
