Homemade Bacon!
I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've just recently discovered the wonders of homemade bacon, despite having a food blog for four years. No, scratch that, I am embarrassed! It really is sad, and I repent here and now for all the world to see. For some reason making homemade bacon is shrouded in some sort of strange and mysterious veil of complexity. Once you see how easy it is it's like you've been smacked in the head with a clue-by-four. This compounded my embarrassment.

Homemade Habanero Kielbasa
A few months ago I reviewed Oakridge BBQ rubs , and I loved them. So, when I saw that they were offering a one-time-only limited edition Habanero Death Dust rub I was all over it. When I received the rub last week I immediately tasted it. Wow! This stuff packs some serious heat, but it's balanced with great flavor.

Homemade Hot Sauce
I am a serious hot sauce fanatic. I put it on almost everything, so much so that my girls think I've burned off all my "tastebugs". At any given time I'd guess that I have ten kinds in the house. Some, like Tiger Sauce, are for more specific purposes while the others are various types and flavors to accessorize certain types of food. If I had to pick one to use for the rest of my life it would probably be Melinda's XXX Chipotle . It's great stuff!
