Martin B Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 It looks georgeous, every time I go near the fridge, I'm opening it to look at the bacon! That picture you uploaded looks delicious, oh how I would love to raise my own pigs, and have bacon. I sent you some pms too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 That's great Martin. Of course we won't boo you here for enthusing about real food! Hurray, Bravo! But then, as a Mum, I do have some sympathy with your family! Although, in our house, it's the other way around. My children, and LSH all if I say something more than once. Which I do. A lot. Lesley, it all looks fantastic, and I do admire all the new skills you must have learned along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well, Rosie and I had our bacon for lunch; I dry-fried it, cooked a couple of our eggs in the bacon fat, homemade bread with butter... Absolutely fantastic!!!!!! It smelled divine when I was cooking it, and I did it until it was nice and crispy. Just great - thanks so much Lesley and Carl, and thanks also to those piggies for doing such a good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I agree Clare, your lunch sounds quite familiar to the breakfast I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'm glad you both liked it and (so far anyway) we don't appear to have poisoned you both All day yesterday Carl was saying " I can't believe you've given bacon to Martin and Clare and we haven't tested it ourselves - what if we poison them?" I had some baked beans with mine last night - they go well with the salty bacon. Carl can't eat egg with baked beans but he likes anything salty anyway. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is easier to almost freeze the bacon before slicing it in the machine - i will try to remember that for the next lot. The other three peices of the one side we've cured so far have been soaking in water for a further 24 hours. It seems to defeat the object of using a dry cure as opposed to brine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I don't appear to be poisoned. but... Clare hasn't been on in an hour or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'm fine Sorry, got rather busy; baking, helping Rosie with her brownies badges and talking to the police about something I am doing for them - busy day!!!

Lesley Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) that was in reply to your previous posting Martin - before Care popped up. (and Carl was worried that he'd killed her!)
