MacKenzie Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 Started with smoking some cheddar cheese for me and a pork loin for a friend. Cheese is done, can't see much smoke but can taste it and smell it. It is now vacuumed sealed and resting for a few weeks. While the pork is smoking I smoked some coffee beans. It has been a long time since I did this. I asked someone who shall remain nameless to pick me up 10 pound of GREEN beans and they came home with roasted beans. I am the only one drinking espresso or coffee in this house so it took me some time to use these beans. Actually I don't even have coffee everyday. Time for dinner, SVed some fish, made some fries, PCed the carrots and steamed some of my peas. Canadian is still smoking and the storm is in full force. The wind was blowing snow on Pebbles so I dropped the winter cover. It is being held back by the snow blower which is ready for action. Fortunately it is a low temp. cook. Canadian Bacon is done. Lot of smoke on this cook. Kitchen now smells great. 2

tony b Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Bacon looks excellent! I know that cheese will be tasty later!
tinyfish Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Looks great MacKenzie. We just had a storm roll through here on Sunday.
MacKenzie Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Posted December 13, 2016 Thanks, everyone. @ Tinyfish, so it was you who sent me this storm. Not much deck clean up today, fortunately this snow was light and fluffy and we had lots of wind to blow it off at least half the deck.
MacKenzie Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Posted December 13, 2016 That is correct, Steve. I am stuck at home and ready for a fun day in the kitchen.
Shuley Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Gaaaaah. That pork looks amazing!!! I don't want to be this hungry this early!!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
skreef Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Awesome cook McKenzie... I don't recall having smoke cheese before.. What kind do you smoke?
MacKenzie Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Posted December 14, 2016 Skills, smoked cheese is great, cheddar, gouda, swiss, etc, all good.

MacKenzie Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Posted December 15, 2016 My friend really wanted me to have a some of the Canadian Bacon for my breakfast, now that I'm down to the last slice I think I'd better grab a pix. It was totally cured and still moist.

tony b Posted December 15, 2016 Report Posted December 15, 2016 Very nice, MacKenzie. Looks moist and delish!
MacKenzie Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks Tony, I was glad to taste it and see that it was good to go.:)
