Up early to start a day of sightseeing in NYC. Usual pot of coffee to take on the road. Munched on some of the Oberto’s Bacon Jerky on the way down to the city. This makes the trip so much easier.     Lunch was enjoyed with a view of the Hudson River.  The slab ofContinue reading “Day 16 #bacon”

Well by now you know the morning routine. Pot of coffee. Can I make my own bacon coffee? I know they sell it but can I make it? That idea will go on the back burner for now. After running a few errands I broke out the cast iron skillet. Cooked up about 2 lbsContinue reading “Day 16 #crispybacon #berberebacon #ghostpepperbacon”

Well it is the end of the work week! Last day of this week trying to find bacon. Started off with a Starbuck’s Venti dark roast. No bacon until my 4 1/2 drive home so had to break into the emergency supplies again. For lunch I had the Oscar Mayer Fully cooked bacon. This wasContinue reading “Day 15 #baconjerky #bacon”

Bacon Jerky! Traveling once again. Have to work to support my bacon habit. Couldn’t have my normal pot of coffee so grabbed a Starbuck’s and hit the road. Today was the first time I had to dip into my emergency supply of bacon. I always have a bag or two of Bacon Jerky stashed inContinue reading “Day 14 #baconjerky #bacon”

OMG! I think I just found a new favorite…more on that later. It was replenishment day. Headed out to Restaurant Depot and loaded up. About 24 pounds worth. Found some Beef Bacon to try out as well.       Also picked up this Jamaican Jerk Seasoning. I cut two hunks of a big slabContinue reading “Day 13 #jamaicanbacon #bacon”

Another basic day. I purchased the Country Farmhouse bacon in New Hampshire. It has been the least expensive bacon I have found at a supermarket. $2.50/pound. The package states they are “irregular slices” but looked pretty good to me. Very meaty too! Cooked this up for breakfast/lunch and ate it all in one sitting. DinnerContinue reading “Day 12 #bacon #countryfarmhousebacon”

Preparation is getting monotonous. Decided to cook all the bacon I would need for the day in the morning. I started with the thin sliced bacon I have mentioned before from Restaurant Depot but never posted a picture. This is a twenty pound box. It is packed on sheets of parchment paper that make itContinue reading “Day 11 #bacon #gwaltnybacon”

Meat Glue. Today was the day to experiment with meat glue. What is it? Transglutaminase (TG or TGase), better known to chefs as “Meat Glue,” has the amazing ability to bond protein-containing foods together. Raw meats bound with TG are often strong enough to be handled as if they were whole uncut muscles. There are plentyContinue reading “Day 10 #bacon #meatglue”

Today was experiment day with a new gadget. Nostalgia Bacon Express. A friend on Facebook asked me if I had tried this to make a substitute for a tortilla for a taco. What would you call that? Bacon tortilla? I will have a full review on the new Product Review page. After playing around withContinue reading “Day 9 #bacon #baconproducts”

Traveling again and no free breakfast in the hotel and I didn’t want to break in to my emergency supply just yet. So I fasted until dinner. Cut a one pound chunk off the slab and decided to put a Cajun rub on it. I don’t have the recipe for the rub. It was leftContinue reading “Day 8 #bacon #my28daybaconexperiment”
