There's even a picture of this paean to pork, served with cream gravy, no less! Sat Dec 09 23:42:28 -0800 2006 11995 pikawicca 1 2085579 Thank you Cindy! Now I am going to have to try that.My jeans are gettng snug with all of the holiday cooking but I am orderng up some Harrington's cob smoked bacon from Vt. That may be the first try. Want me to get some for you too? Sat Dec 09 23:59:33 -0800 2006 2085552 10285 Candy 2 2085605 Oh yes, please! One pound would be nice. Thanks.

This stuff looks, oh, man. Words fail me. And she put *more* salt on it. It's like a train crash--I can't rip my eyes away.
