I'll assume that a sample has been sent to quality control as well as the minister of science just to make certain it's safe.
I like the salmon over quinoa. Healthy and gooder than hell!
Oh dang it. Here I am on a diet and you had to go and mention bacon. Self cured bacon at that. And tomatoes off the vine too? Sheesh. You could have at least posted a picture so I could drool over it.

I didn't send any samples, but I did send one of the quality control guys a picture of the bacon as it came out of the smoker, to let him know what he was missing. hahaha
By the way....I didn't use pork belly. I used a Boston butt. (The cut of pig....not the quality control guy, that I sent the picture to.) LOL

If any one is interested in making this kind of bacon, I highly recommend that you make some. It's extremely easy and taste really good! It was dry cured in the fridge, and smoked on my kettle grill.

Just finished some of the best Salmon Cakes with Cauliflower/Sweet Potato Puree.
The Salmon Cake Recipe.
The recipe doesn't specify, so we used Sockeye Salmon (made a half batch of this):
1-1/4 pounds of salmon after skinning (When processing the salmon it is OK to have some pieces that are larger than 1/4". It is important to avoid overprocessing the fish.
3 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (we used light mayo)
4 teaspoons lemon juice (we went a bit heavier on the lemon juice)
1 scallion, sliced thin
1 small shallot, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1-1/4 pounds skinless salmon fillet cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1. Combine 3 tablespoons panko, parsley, mayo, lemon juice, scallion, shallot, mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne in bowl. Working in 3 batches, pulse salmon in food processor untill coarsely chopped into 1/4 inch pieces, about 2 pulses, transferring each batch to bowl with panko mixture. Gently mix until uniformly combined.
2. Place remaining 3/4 cup panko in pie plate. Using 1/3 cup measure, scoop level amount of salmon mixture and transfer to baking sheet; repeat to make 8 cakes. Carefully coat each cake in bread crumbs, gently patting into disk measuring 2-3/4 inches in diameter and 1 inch high. Return coated cakes to baking sheet.
3. Heat oil in 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon cakes in skillet and cook without moving until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip cakes and cook until second side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer cakes to paper towel lined plate to drain 1 minute. Serve.
This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated magazine, July & August 2011. It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I had something called a limerick sandwich at Maguires Hill for lunch yesterday. I had a bowl of their potato soup also. It was great.
Grilled Limerick Sandwich
Irish bacon, cheddar cheese, onion and tomato on our own special bread. You can ad a fried egg for .50 more.
So, this morning I made one with American Bacon. Fried the egg in butter while I sliced the red onion. Only had microwave bacon. Buttered the bread. I put the sliced red onion on the bottom peice of bread, then American cheese, then bacon, then the egg, another slice of cheese, and the bread. Tossed the whole concoction in the frying pan till it was golden brown. Wish I had some fresh tomatoes though. That would have made it POP!
If you make this keep your fingers out the way when your eating and don't put none of it on your head. Cause your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get to it!

of a greased cast iron skillet.poured my cake mix over and put in oven for about 35 min.
