It is coming close to the end of this journey. My mind is starting to wonder what I will eat the most of after the bacon experiment. Thinking of avocados, macadamia nuts, brussel sprouts and eggs. Not all at once!  Need to start ordering the post experiment blood tests as well. I had a 3.6Continue reading “Day #25 #baconslab”

Well today there was no preparation. I ate some of the slab bacon I cooked yesterday. One piece for lunch and the other for dinner.  Saved one as well. Just a lazy day!

I had picked up this big slab of bacon last week. 7.5 pounds! Caught my eye because it said it was double smoked. Not sure what that means but we will see. Cut off three two inch slices. They came in around 20 oz each. Since they were “double smoked” I decided to leave twoContinue reading “Day 23 #baconslab #bacon #baconcandles”

Today I wanted to play around with a different device to prepare my bacon. I found this MAK ‘N BACON on Amazon. The reviews looked pretty good and it was cheap. I will put up a full review later. Set up was simple and instructions easy. The thin bacon came out great! When I loadedContinue reading “Day 22 #microwavebacon #bacon”

Well decided to throw the rest of the beef bacon on the Traeger Grill today. Cooking this bacon on the grill is so much easier. You don’t have to keep a watchful eye on the process as standing over a cast iron skillet or keep peeking in the oven with a timer set. Just haveContinue reading “Day 21 #beefbacon #bacon #traegergrills”

Pot of coffee…..and later in the day started to the education on beef bacon. I have never had beef bacon before so something new on the agenda. This is a big 5 pounds pack so there will be lot to cook over the next few days. As you can see the pieces are much wider,Continue reading “Day 20 #beefbacon #bacon”

No breakfast at the hotel this morning. Coffee in the room was horrible. Went to Starbucks to get a Venti Dark Roast. Before I reached my first account I stopped to get another. This doesn’t add up to a full pot but it helped. Maybe I need to go to Dunkin’ Donuts and get aContinue reading “Day 19 #bacon”

The included breakfast at Fairfield Inns usually has bacon. Not the best bacon. Must be cut by a microtome. It is about 4 microns thin. So what is a microtome? It is a device used in histology labs to cut very thin sections of tissue for preparing microscope slide. Haven’t used one in about 35Continue reading “Day 18 #bacon #baconservingsize #hotelbacon”

Big surprise! Started the day with a pot of coffee. I had two pounds left of the bacon slab so I decided to add the cajun spice and cook the whole piece up. The Traeger was out of the question this morning because it was raining. Set the oven for 375oF and baked for about 45Continue reading “Day 17 #bacon”

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”
