Sandmans Buckboard Bacon

[Smokin Don]

I don’t usually like to do this, steal a friend’s bacon and post before he has a chance to; but what do you think about a guy that closes up his carry out and heads to sunny Las Vegas for a week? If I run out of beer while he’s gone I’ll have to drive at least 2 blocks farther and I won’t get my favorite pizza on Wednesday. Hope you log in and see this Brad!

Sandman runs a carry out just 3 blocks from me. He is a fellow Traeger owner and we swap samples of our cooks some to get an opinion on it. Awhile back he showed me a vacuum sealed package of buckboard bacon he had curing. Then he gave me a sample bag of it he had sliced thin. When I opened it, I smelled bacon. I fried up some for my lunch along with two eggs and some rye toast. Man that was good and I have to make some of that.

Sandman had also bought a PBC he said came in and would have it at the carry out Sat. When I stopped in, he had it fired up with 2 half racks of ribs cooking. They were about done and did they ever look good.

Anyway hope you’re having fun in Vegas and I am sure you will want tell us about your new toy when you return! Smokin Don

Don, Kimmie is drooling over your eggs not the bacon! 

She said "If those were mine, I'd cut the yoke out and tear it up"!!!!   

Hey you get Kimmie's attention you have done something!

That is some good looking buckboard bacon Don.

Did you make that using Sandman's recipe or did he make it?

Toney & Kimmie, fixing and eating eggs are a ritual for me. My Mother used to get them this way by frying in bacon grease and basting the tops with the grease. I do it by frying in a little bacon grease or olive oil, as soon as I break the eggs in I cover with a glass lid. I can see them and as soon as the yokes show they are getting cooked on top they are to to my liking. I like a little crispy edges, yoke hard on the bottom half and runny on top. I get to dip my toast in & eat with the sides, then I eat the whites and save the yokes till last!  One of Moms grandkids told her I want some of those eggs with lace around the edge! I guess I am a little fussy but I can never get eggs the way I like them if I eat out. Don

Tonights supper! I will post the recipe later. I have been wanting to make the potatoes for a while. Turned out pretty good.
