But I believe I've found the cure!




12 pounds venison backstraps.  10 pounds pork loin.  3.5 pound pork belly.   1 bag of Morton TenderQuick.

Stay tuned!

The only thing that worries me that you only THINK you have a sickness. Thought you would have recognized it by now   Well I guess one of the steps of addiction is "denial".  ;D

But wait, there's more!

6 pounds Canadian Bacon.  (MTQ, brown sugar, garlic/onion powder)



[edit]
I drizzled some Hickory Shagbark syrup in each bag before I sealed it.

And something I can't even think of a name for.


MTQ
Anchiote Powder
Cumin
Soileau's
Hungarian Half-Sharp paprika
Garlic/Onion powder





Before I put the Anchiote in.




The Anchiote has a consistency of silly putty.   After schmearing it all over the loin:

Wow Squirt you do have it bad. 

I have a slab & 1/2 of snake river belly unthawed.  I think I'm going to use some shagbark hickory on one piece.

It's good stuff.  I like it on the CB.
Last one I injected the loin with the syrup...   Boy did that make a mess.

I'll admit right now this isn't all for us.   The backstraps are for my office neighbor at work, and I'll probably give away 2/3rds of that belly bacon..     The CB is staying here, and I'll probably take the Spanadian Bacon to work.   (my captive audience/test market/critics)

Suppose I'll get blamed for this addiction as well for getting CRG addicted to Sausage!!!
Bacon is the Crack Cocaine of the Food World.
