I'm still piddlin' with meat... the fatback I got Thursday is fantastic (not part of the free stuff, I had to pay for it), and I'm rendering the thinner pieces for lard. The thicker parts will become cured salt pork, using a recipe that has lots of herbs. Should be yummy cooked in greens or beans! Not your grocery store partially rancid salt pork.

I finally got my "cold smoke generator" and plan to smoke a few things in my cardboard smoker box next week, weather permitting. On my list is to smoke salt, sugar, some nuts, some sun-dried tomatoes for a sausage recipe... and some local honey. Who knows what else may crop up in my thoughts before then? LOL. I'd smoke some cheese if I had any!
