Well I don't know why I came here tonight, I got the feeling that something ain't right, I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair, And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs, Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am, Stuck in the middle with you.             9:17:56 PM    comment []

I haven’t been following any of the really big news stories since the new, improved Pope got elected, but over at FGAQ I learned that Ann Coulter has been upset by a Time magazine photo that was doctored in Photoshop using a fisheye lens effect. The actual filter is called “Spherize,” but even a reliable columnist can make a little mistake sometimes. In the interest of balancing out the bad karma from her spherized photo, I’ve inverted the effect on this one. Neither photo, of course, accurately captures the true soul of Ann, but the truth is probably somewhere in between.       8:12:57 PM    comment []

These are not to the same scale. The pork loin is on the left, the bacon on the right. The plan is to let them drip dry and warm up to room temperature overnight and wrap the bacon around the loin tomorrow afternoon. Unflavored gelatin is sprinkled on the loin to provide a little binding (which is increased as the bacon ages and shrinks as it dries out). The real trick is getting it wrapped. There might be one other complication. This is a lot of meat and it might not all fit in my smoker at once. Tomorrow will tell.     7:45:32 PM    comment []
