This Little Piggy...

Days 62 and 63

At this point, it's probably pretty obvious that I love bacon.

So I was pretty psyched that I had the chance to make it this week. Tuesday, we trimmed the pork belly and rubbed it with a maple solution; today, we flipped the meat and gave it a good massage. Tomorrow we smoke it.

Friday we eat it.

Our suckling pig was also delivered, and we rubbed it down with a marinade. We're serving the little guy at our buffet's carving station Friday. I hope we do him justice.

In addition, we also braised oxtails for a stew (awesome), and seared and simmered whole octopus (doubly awesome). Our menu is going to rock. Friday couldn't come fast enough. But before it arrives, we have a lot of prep work remaining for our Caribbean menu.

We need to get it together, mon.
