Wow, I looked over this menu and can't get past the "Salads and small plates" .... I would need to start an assignment to go to that restaurant every day until I ordered everything on that menu! All looks phenomenal! You just can't find that around here obviously ?

I know it's not much to look at, but a lot of the flavor comes from the old panty hose it's wrapped in. ???Enjoy!

I'm glad you're talking fruit cake and not....Oh forget it.

So, a couple of weeks ago a local grocery store had pork loins on sale for $1.29  a pound with a limit of two. I went in to pick up a couple, which I was going to cut up into pork chops, and cure the rest for some Canadian bacon and smoked chops.They said they were running low and I could only buy one. That kind of ticked me off, but I went back the next day and bought two more loins. I cut off like ten raw pork chops and put the rest of the meat in a simple cure of Morton's Tender Quick and brown sugar for ten days. I braved the bitter cold and smoked the meat Saturday, and let it rest until tonight. After enjoying a grilled steak with a baked potato and Cesar's salad, I sliced and packaged the Canadian bacon. It's not goose breast ham, but it turned out pretty dang good! I need to learn to do those butcher's knots that BilletHead does to shape it a little better in the future. Ended up with twenty-five 1/2 lb packs of Canadian Bacon, seven twin packs of smoked chops and four packs of ends and pieces for baked beans and such.

Those cuts look great. Got my mouth watering just looking at those slices on the pan. Great job.

          Walleyedmike,

    Man what a good looking bunch of meat! On and on the trussing of the goose. That was a cluster and it took the Mrs and I some wrestling to get it done. That and of course the picture is of the good side of the tie up. You should of seen the other side. .
