diy aquaponics south africa | Making smoked foods Mock bacon

diy aquaponics south africa

Im not really sure how to make bacon, but I can now smoke stuff, and bacon is smoked pork, so I should be able to get it half right at least.

Hope I dont die!

Actually Ive read a lot of safety info, and it seems I can cold smoke stuff at dangerous, bacteria breeding temperatures for less than four hours, without killing myself.

I think.

Dont try this at home.

Ahgggeh...

Go on.

Youll be fine.

Ahgggeh isnt a word in Australia or anything. Thats just the sound I made.

I type it as I hear it. And I hear it as I say it.

I have no idea what Im talking about.

So...

I brined two completely different looking cuts of pork that both claimed to be pork belly.

I added around a 1/2 cup of sea salt, and a half cup of brown(ish) sugar, to a squirt of honey, and some fresh ground black pepper. I also threw in three bay leaves, and Im pretty sure there was something else as well.

Its late here.

And the people next door have had enough smoke for the day so Im about to retrieve my smoked stuff.

It looks kind of pallid.

But it has an interesting scent, that might be a little promising.

Whatever happens, this will not be the kind of bacon-like substance that you might be able to put in your cellar for a few weeks. This will be the kind of thing Ill be freezing, then making sure I cook it.

A lot.

Before eating.

Which is fine by me, because I think bacon should be crunchy.

I also smoked some jalapeños in there.

Im off to retrieve it all now.

Ill let you know if it kills me.

diy aquaponics media bed | Thinking Bacon

diy aquaponics media bed

I thought it was just me that was a big bacon fan, but lately Ive been seeing bacon T-shirts, bacon poems, bacon coffee mugs etc everywhere I go online. Which brings me to remind myself how the net works. If I do a search on google, I see things that google thinks Im interested in. That means that if there is even the slightest connection to bacon, I get a lot of bacon hits. Everything I search for adds to the database of things Im interested in, so google thinks that even a tenuous connection is worth reporting, because Im clearly interested in bacon AND electronics.


If I do the same search on someone elses computer, I get different results.

One of the side effects of getting good search results that are relevant to the searcher, is that there is no editor to decide on the things that everyone is interested in. That tends to mean we keep a tight lid on broadening our horizons. One role of a TV news editor was to decide that say, an impending asteroid impact about to wipe us all out, was important to even people who were only normally interested in puppies and real estate. This, because it might impact their desire to buy more puppies or real estate, or might just be worth knowing about in spite of their desire to buy more puppies and real estate.

Google never includes impending asteroid impacts in search results for "haberdashery" on your grand parents computer.

A good haberdashery magazine editor might at least mention in passing thats its worth buying some extra buttons to see you through the coming asteroid induced ice age.

Im guessing magazines are a weigh point on that path, from hearing about things to only hearing about our obsessions.

The net can be an amazing way of gaining information, but it can also be a trap, set to turn us back on ourselves, and blindly confirm that which we already believe to be unconditionally true.






120 Things in 20 years is just reminding itself to wake up and smell the bacon.

diy aquaponics system australia | Making smoked foods Mixed mock bacon results

diy aquaponics system australia

I made some mock bacon the other day.

Mixed results.

Some of worked really well, and tastes like bacon. The other bit smells like bacon, and tastes like bacon, but it chews like a really thick rubber band.

And the jalapenos that I also smoked were kind of pointless. I think they needed a LOT more smoke.

I think Im going to have to learn a lot more before trying bacon again.
