Hi Penny
You’ll probably sleep like a rock tonight!

@Compost King you have inspired me with your fermenting. I finally bought some yogurt starter today, a drinkable type that I’ve fermented before, and I decided to buy some starter to ferment fruit and some weights. My husband likes sauerkraut on rubens and I’ve been wanting to try making it for him.

It’s what is used to make bacon yes. I sliced it myself, so not exceptionally thin. I’ll probably end up freezing some of it, it’s 2 lbs of meat so far too much for one meal.

When we lived in TX, we found The Lazy Dog restaurant. They had this Pork Belly BLT, and it was the most amazing sandwich I have ever tasted! They had a lot of really delicious food. *drools*
Anywho... I'm not sure how many of those ingredients you have on hand, but you said pork belly and of course it popped into my head (and got me drooling)!

Puppy first and another puppy last...

Of course! I had to put all the "....." because I would have added about a thousand more puppies!

Okay, so what do you folks put on your messy burgers other than ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish? I use, fried onions, raw onions, sauteed mushrooms, fried bacon, sliced tomatoes, and sometimes bbq sauce.

Sliced beetroot on burgers is a local tradition.

I was thinking BLTs would be the way to go but the family wanted to try this other recipe. We had it with homemade BBQ sauce topped with homemade coleslaw. I put it under the broiler to make the sauce sticky and burned it just a little bit.

And here I thought we were the only ones to do this! I serve them open faced especially if I've made bacon to go on them. Then the ground mix goes on one side and the bacon goes on the other.
Good on you and the other folks that helped, please stay safe.


These all made me laugh but the picture that @Acre4Me posted, the expression on the dark red hen's face is priceless. She is just doggedly sitting there. I love chickens.

Nothing doing in the garden much, once it clears off a little I'll comb the vines for tomatoes, salsa sounds like a good use. I got the most recent batch of huckleberries cleaned and packed in half pound bags in the freezer. Huckleberry pancakes sound good. Today I'm making cowboy candy with the jalapenos and I need to mix the ground beef and pork and get it into 1 pound bags for the freezer. And that brings me to my next interest...

Aioli and a thin slice of purple onion OMG gimme!

Sure do, one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. I love to use it for veggies for lunch, broccoli and cauliflower in particular.

It's one of my favorite tools too!

That's what I do with my meat, so much better that way!

We finally got back to putting up tomatoes! We canned 26 pints of San Marzano's!
