This link was buried in our comments, but I thought it warranted a full feature. Over on The Champagne of Blogs, they're makin' bacon. Not just throwing it in a skillet, but actually sourcing pork bellies and MAKING bacon. Wow.
The blog is part of BS Brewing, a "homebrewing and extreme food collective" from Portland, OR , which is something we here at YBNBY can definitely throw our weight behind.

I can get behind anything that involves bacon. I'm going to have to head over to my local asian grocery, the best easy place to get pork bellies, and make some of my own.
Thanks for the heads up.
Hey Austin, if you try it, definitely let us know how it goes.
Just FYI, you all might look into Bacon Salt. It's not real bacon at all, kosher in fact. But it is tasty, and if, you know, you are worried about death and all, it might be friendly. Just say-innn.
Growing up in Alaska it seems every family has their own smoked salmon recipe and they are all very similiar to this. One of my favorites incorporates fresh jalapeno. The end result is a smoky sweet savory treat with the fragrance of chili and a small amount of heat.
I wonder if jalapeno infused bacon would be tasty as well.
I used to eat home made bacon when I was a kid and my dad's family still had pigs in their little farm. But instead of this fast bacon making, they seasoned the meat and then hung it for weeks over the wood stove. As they needed the fire always on, the smoke was a constant also. Finest bacon ever. For me, at least.
Man, it smells so good that I could use it as 'eau de cologne', or maybe 'oil de cologne'... hahahaha
I bought the bacon salt once. It gives a good taste to food. But in fact, it's not like the real deal.
And all that skin that you remove, you don't need to craft a football, you can cook a delicious soup with the skin in, and then put it away to serve the soup. Delicious.
