BoMc, Installment #1

We received our first Bacon of the Month Club installment!


There was a slight problem, though. One I need your advice about.


It was shipped to our mailbox, and we didn't pick it up the day it arrived. So when we did pick it up today, the dry ice had been used up, and the bacon was room temp.


Is that bad? I mean, the bacon is smoked already, and the package is vacuum sealed. But does bacon go bad?


I hope not.


Because the bacon came. To be more specific, the Vande Rose Farms Applewood Smoked Bacon arrived. In case you were wondering, "Vande Rose Farms starts by hand-rubbing fresh bacon with the perfect mixture of salt, brown sugar, a little black pepper and a pinch of curing salts crafted by pork expert, Brce Aidells... The final product is bacon with just the right level of saltiness, a slightly sweet finish, and just the right amount of smokiness."


It can be used to make "Vande Rose Farms Applewood Smoked Bacon and Oyster Mushroom Starter," which goes lovely with 2006 Trevor Jones Boots Grenache.


Ok, I'm not going to lie. All that makes me laugh! In a totally good way, but it makes me laugh! Gotta love the entrepreneurs that started this business!

I can't believe the bacon was room temp with how cold it's been! I think you're fine to eat it.
