[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2934200, member: 9374"] Well, today I went down to Asian Mart in Tulsa, at 31st and 129th E. Ave, looking for some belly. I called in advance, tried Perry's, where I got my last one and they were sold out. But the meat counter at Asian Mart told me they had some. So, off I go... On the way, I stopped to meet Bruce Coon and picked up my Sig P226 I had handed him a couple weeks ago. It started out like this: [IMG]http://www.okshooters.com/attachments/20161006_115225-jpg.62328/[/IMG] And today it looks like this: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i236.photobucket.com_albums_ff121_tRdoc_IMG_2850_zpsku6coa6a.jpg[/IMG] I love the Truglo TFX Pro sights! Those things are sweet! Anyways, back to the pork belly.... So after meeting up with Bruce, I head to Asian Mart and the guy looks in the back and tells me he has 8 whole pork bellies, but they're all frozen together and he can't separate them! WTF, man! I drove all the way down here... but anyways, he does have a bunch already cut up in the meat case, they're about 6" sections, so I get 4 of them and have him cut the skin off for me. I DID keep the skin, to make cracklins later, don't worry! ;) I also went to Costco and picked up a Prime packer brisket... that'll be another thread. :D So tonight I decided to take one of these pieces and make something new for dinner.... so here it goes.
