What a major score

When I go shopping the first thing I do is head over to the marked down meat. This morning I got 4 pork bellies at 50% off. My last batch of brown sugar, maple, bourbon bacon is just about gone. Now I need to research a recipe of uncured pork bellies. I'm leaning toward a Chinese type flavor. wouldn't you know I left the store without a jar of Chinese chili & garlic sauce.

Seems like my store never carries pork belly anymore. I have to go to Costco in town to get it.

All the years that I was a meat cutter we never carried them or where they even available from our warehouse.

IMG_1907.jpg I found a spice blend that I had everything so there was no going back to the store. It’s not the Chineses Char Siu that I wanted to try , but I really didn’t want to go out.

I put it on at 12:15 and hope to get 4-5 hours of smoke on it. IMG_1907.jpg

boon that looks excellent. But the one on the right picture? Is that fat or white meat? Maybe its just the picture??

A combination of both it is after all what bacon is made from. Now after smoking it. I'll slice a thick piece and sear it off. The fatty parts get a nice charred outside and firm inside

I'm not a huge cinnamon fan. The wife loved it and would use so much I'd have to go into another room. A few weeks back canned cinnamon rolls were on sale so I bought some. They are only good right out of the oven & don't reheat well.
