I love it how Wes gets something in his mind and just goes for it. His latest focus has been about bacon. Several days ago we bought a slab of pork belly for him to cure and smoke. This process takes more time than I had ever thought - 5 days.
Did I forget to mention that he built his own smoker from a huge plant pot, an one-eye burner, a grill grate, and some stone pavers? (MacGyver, watch out!) Oh, yes. That was the focus over Christmas stand-down. Here's a picture of the finished product. The girls thought it needed a little feminine touch.
Back to the bacon project....
So, for the past five days, Wes has been nurturing and coddling his pork belly, transforming it into some delicious bacon. He sliced it up yesterday. This looks like some juicy, succulent bacon. Can't wait to try it out this morning.
As for our picky eater in the house, what does she think of bacon? See for yourself.
