Luck you! Sorry you are feeling under the weather...feel better soon! Today is BEAUTIFUL outside. I have been out all morning dragging hoses, cleaning and filling water troughs and duck pools. Inside time to get some fried chicken going..and a rest. Then back out to turn the garden and get ready to get the beets in!

I love the stuff so darn much.<br /><br />I'm not sure if you're using any herbs for drying, but you should definitely try it if not. "Typical" herbs are bay leaf (crushed fine), black pepper, and crushed red pepper. But you can use anything. I made a pancetta with lemon balm, star anise, coriander, and fennel to make an absinthe-flavored blend. <br /><br />Remember mentioning those one meal seasoning packets at the grocery? That's sort of what I look at pancetta as, especially pancetta tesa (straight pancetta) with a concia (herb mixture). You got fat, salt, meat, and some herbs. I've even thrown a few into a pot of crushed tomatoes for a lazy man's pasta sauce.<br /><br />Seriously, I'm in love with pancetta. Here's one of my favorite pics of one I did with some lavender and orange zest:<br /><br />https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-htEIDHplkko/TcJNqOGIZ1I/AAAAAAAABIg/fRos3JrDcAI/s640/DSC_2145.JPGBig Onionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828663940095148052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-14153411828671280262012-02-27T10:03:00.127-05:002012-02-27T10:03:00.127-05:00Also Oh-so-delicious sliced thinly and eaten raw o...Also Oh-so-delicious sliced thinly and eaten raw on bread!<br /><br />BRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-86758626921914414832012-02-27T09:58:42.189-05:002012-02-27T09:58:42.189-05:00Too cold yet for outdoor gardening here, plus I ha...Too cold yet for outdoor gardening here, plus I have to work all day (for money). But my onions and collards are up early so I must get my grow light stand up from the cellar and into the living room where it is warm for seed starting indoors. I thought I had 8-10 days, as the seed packets said, but the darn things were as excited about spring as I am and came up in four days!<br /><br />That pancetta looks divine! *drools*freemotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129588842227646172noreply@blogger.com
