Hi Ross,

That bacon looks perfect!

Stay warm there Ross, it has been a rough winter for you guys this season!

Thank you Ross, I have learnt something new from your posting and will try baking my own bread. Our biggest challenge in creating a variety of homemade breads is to do so without GLUTEN. Kevin, I always read your interesting posts on how your recipes are combined for good flavor and doing without th...

Hi IdaKraut,

I have saved your Pastrami wurst with Swiss Cheese recipe, your sausages look awesome!
Also very interesting read about the high temp cheese versus regular.

Please keep us posted on your progress with this Bacon, I will follow with interest!

I taught myself to tie a ham from online videos as well. Eventually with practice I got the hang of it close to perfection.

Would like to try making this one day.

Same here, and this one was an interesting learning curve.

Thank you CW

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing Ross
