I made bacon.
I fried some eggs in the bacon fat.
Do you salt & pepper your bacon?
Discussion
I have it as is. Already salty
More salt the better no?
I can understand pepper since there’s none on it
I gotta live that salt life
Do you add some sea salt or just regular table salt?
Blend of pink Himalayan and Celtic sea salt
Never tried pink Himalayan.
I read recently that iodine deficiency is coming back. Sounds crazy to me. I guess people thought salt was bad for them 🤷🏾
It’s good stuff…
Well when the doctors are tell you to use less salt…
100% the doctors and the food industry selling everything with less salt.
No extra salt, plus Tabasco
I should make my own Tabasco sauce
Hmm. I recently learned the history of it. Quite interesting. Takes a long time to make too. Probably you could get close though
Low time preference on making food at home here
Indeed. Willing to wait 2 years for vanilla 🤯
I'm going to make some btw
Nice… it’s definitely worth it… it’s easy to go overboard…
Mason jars, vodka you mentioned, double fold is the plan
I highly suggest you read this first…

As the info given was only an example.
Also this is the first time we’ve done that blend of beans & vodka…
Okey dokey. Thanks, will definitely have a read before doing. I'll let you know what we end up going with
Awesome I hope you enjoy what you make!
Let you know in two years 😢
You can always make paste first
Buy nilla though the co op too
Have a fancy spice store I figure will do. Madagascar sounds good. The link you gave didn't specify what technique to use, but from other thing I read thinking simply slice bean and submerge at room temp, shake once a week or so, 6-12 months it's usable.
You'd mentioned possibly starting with making paste, but gonna keep it simple (and maybe better tasting way?).
How much would you say you spend or how many beans go in 8 oz? I paid 25 for three big beans. Asked the person to weigh and it was like .35oz only! Directions call for 1oz minimum!! Am I missing something?
We generally pay like $5-$7 an once though the co op
Wow, ok. Thats 10x cheaper lol. Maybe I'll start with small batch and these hopefully magic beans I got swindled into buying.
I dont know of this coop you speak of. I'll ask around at farmers market and see what's possible. Thanks, looking forward to following up in half a year or more to share results!
It was part of the website I previously sent you…
This is the dark blend we just put in booze… it’s 4oz of beans and was like $40 shipped… the co op has a try at il site but that’s not where I order from… we but into a preorder so we get cheaper prices before they offer it on the retail store…
Wow! With prices that I was seeing I was beginning to understand wars over spice.
I'll have to find a cheaper option for sure.
How can I Grow vanilla beans
Um good luck… it’s really labor intensive as you have to hand pollinate the flowers
… dam… you’re right… no way I could eject
sperm hard enough to cross pollinate
