Best. Holiday. Ever.

In fact, I've got a pork loin just sitting in my fridge waiting to be cured and smoked and magically turned into back bacon! My next adventure: curing and smoking pork belly and pork loin for BACON!

So what are folks cooking with bacon on National Bacon Day?  I am thinking about bacon wrapped baked potatoes.

Speaking of bacon, I just put two 3 pound pork bellies into the refrigerator to cure. One using brown sugar and the other using maple sugar. In a week or two I'll let you know which one was best.

In honor of National Bacon Day I ordered a pork belly from our local butcher and will pick it up tomorrow. Doing it mainly for my sister-in-law. We are getting together for Christmas in Januray. At Thanksgiving she was asking most everyone if they had ever eaten pork belly. It was something she had only recently heard of and didn't know what it was. Everyone was crinkling up their nose at the thought of pork belly. When I told her I'd tried it, you would have thought I had eaten bugs or worse. However, the look on her face was priceless when she found out it was bacon!

My sister's husband told me last week he told their son-in-law they were getting ready for the cold weather we have headed this way by having B3.   The son-in-law told him B12 is more appropriate for fighting off a cold.  B3 is Beer, Bourbon and Bacon.  Works for me.  He used to be a Paramedic and my sister is a Registered Dietitian so they should know.  It'll be in the upper 40's for them since they live 200 miles south of us.

If you like Thick cut, and cook it on a rack in the oven...Wrights makes a mean one, and that Hormel Black Label is some good stuff.  I am sure there are some high end, online ones that put both of them to shame, but they do not align with the cheap screw mentality...The Wrights and Black Label are to expensive except for special occasion too!
