Great job Fred, really sweet! Next batch I'll roll half in freshly cracked pepper to give it a shot. Usually a night or two in the fridge decreases the salty flavor a bit. Chicken Cordon Bleu is on tonights dinner menu. RAY

Thanks for that post, I followed it to a T and was well rewarded, we all were thrilled with the outcome. More later. RAYKrakowska wrote:Thanks Ray, Let me know how the chicken turns out. Best I ever had if followed the way the guy did in the video. Have a good one, Fred

Man alive, dinner turned out great and was worth the work. It did require getting set up and following all the right steps in the video.
A Grey Goose tini got the frying underway
Once that was all done it was time for 15 minutes in a 350° oven
A little salad and a bottle of chard and dinner was on!
After dinner there was some single-malt and a cigar at the backyard fire pit. Not feeling like the sharpest knife in the drawer when I woke up this morning inspired a monster brekky
That gave me what I needed to get the last load of maters for this year in the dehydrator
Now the plants are pulled and in the garbage can, all my chores are done, and I'm thinking of a Rolling Rock and eight solid hours of sports on TV. There's enough Canadian bacon left over for a ham and pineapple pizza, maybe right about halftime of the Niner game. RAY

Thank you both! Yep, that's the bacon I smoked about a month back using CW's honey-maple recipe. I sliced it all nice and thick, doesn't curl much at all, and has way way better flavor than anything I ever bought at a grocery store. Just another of the many great aspects of this site, learning how to make better food than store-bought for a lot less money. RAY

Ray, I think the bacon is going to be my next project. Going to try it with a pork butt. Haven't a clue where to get pork bellies down here in Florida and I do not want to buy a 40 lb case. This is the restaurant capital of the world, (Gulf Coast Florida) NOBODY cooks, lol Going up north for a month due to son#2 is getting married and going to help Him move in to a house that they have a bid on. Just waiting for all the paper work to go through. While they are gone (honeymoon) I will take his Brittany out and do some partridge hunting in New York's southern tier near Salamanca and the Pa border. Won't be smoking until I get back down here. Thanks everyone and INDEED, this is one heck of a site, enjoy the comradeship and I learn something every time I spend time here. It is, My favorite site. Chuckwagon, You ARE The Man! Fred
Keep them safe until they all come home.
