Bellies ordered and should have them by the end of the week. 5-7 day cure after that and then smoke time.

Didn't forget about you guys. Just picked up bellies yesterday and put them in the fridge to start the curing process. I have some pics and more later on.

Bumping this to see if I can pick up anything at the spice house for those coming to the meetup next Saturday.

Edit: the meetup in Chicago Troy- you know, that cool place you used to live?
