Bacon

Bacon.  It's not the healthiest option for food, but it tastes really good; so we eat it occasionally.  Those occasions are usually during our camping trips.  We typically purchased the better cuts of pre-packaged bacon at the grocery store.  However, this year we added to our carnivorous freezer stash by purchasing a whole pig. One of our primary reasons was so that we could cure and smoke our own bacon.  Wow, was that a great decision!  Andrea did the preservation side of things, then the smoking was up to me.  This morning, despite not being on a camping trip, we tried some of our own bacon.  That's great bacon!  Even the kids which were watching cartoons in the living room knew it was cooking.  The flavor...exquisite.  It will be tough to reserve this as a special treat only for camping trips, but it is in limited supply so that will help.
