With their love for bacon I figured we should give it a shot. I used the maple recipe Jim had posted a while back. We gave it a 7 day cure, then put the smoke to it this morning. I used half apple, half hickory to smoke it. Pretty sure I’m going to Costco tomorrow to pick up another pork belly after the reaction to round one. Damn good stuff! Tonight my youngest wanted to try his hand at making homemade pasta. Of course I had to oblige and now he’s hooked on the good stuff. Good day off with the family!

We did homemade root beer, steamed crabs when my boys were that age... anything to get them doing something involving their brain. Bacon looks beautiful If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

Made $3.35 an hour cracking around 1-200 dozen eggs a shift! The pasta was outstanding. All different kinds, shapes, flavors, stuffed, etc..... “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

The job had its perks though. I tried hanging around the pool as much as I could when the girls went for a swim!

Another paid me $20/day, from 7-5. Then they raised it to $25. Loved farming would still be doing it except for, well, the pay. Logging was better, but still starvation. Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
