| PANCETTA SPICE |
Late to start, as I wasn’t able to get any pork belly from the Amish farmer who delivers to my buying group, I headed out around town trying to find some last minute tenderly raised belly in time to get it going. Finally found one, but by then there wouldn’t be time for the pancetta. I was afraid I was late to the dance: by then my fellow Charcutaploozians were posting glorious stories and pictures of their pork conquests.
Since pancetta takes three weeks, and bacon takes just over a week, I decided to try both.
I'm glad I did. Homemade bacon rocks!
I can see how there’s so much love of bacon going on out there, why people are lustily tweeting bacon love songs day and night.
I took one taste of our fresh bacon, and just about forgot about the lonely pancetta hanging all by itself in the basement.
Maybe the bacon is just a flash in the pan. We’ll have to see about that next week when the pancetta is ready.
Until then, its bacon love.

Love the photo, especially the one of Tippy. Those alien animals are terrifying, however!! Great photos, great text, great blog, Sally. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks - you wouldn't believe how they came running when that bacon came out of the oven! Still trying to get over learning-curve, layout issues :)
