    It's bacon day every day. Technically isn't it national nude day? Not a good combo.

    Cooking bacon nude would result in burnt sausage.:bug:

    I did two 10-11 lb bellies, divided into thirds. The rest were Christmas gifts, but I saved one for us :drool:

    well here is what mine came out like. The small pork belly slabs I had were an odd size / shape and made it difficult to slice up on the slicer. Not the best bacon cook I have done thats for sure but it well fry up just fine

    The bellies I get at Costco don't have skin on them.

    Nice looking pile.

    My next bacon is gonna be buckboard. I have a butt thawed in the fridge, but I'm out of cure. Waiting on Prague powder with an Amazon order.

    My first buckboard bacon, and my first home brewed cure.

    It tastes great, but the texture is a little different. I'll have to see what the family has to say. I like paying $0.99-1.09/lb for butts vs $2.75+ for belly lately.
