Have you tried an Asian market? The one by my house gets it on Thursdays and charge $2.50/#.
Two pounds pork belly- pancetta stresa started 6/29/12. Can't wait to cut into this one. I could do it now but will wait another week. Used the recipe from Charcuterie. I just couldn't bring myself to hang it at ambient temp though. Co-opted the kegerator for the drying!
Cost me about $5. Try buying it for that price at the store.
Boy, my Red Sox sure left a brown skidmark on the month of September. Tonight should be interesting. I think the Yankees are tanking it just to screw with the Sox.
I hope they make it in but with the pitching and defense right now, I doubt they will make it out of the divisional series.
I'll consider the season a success as long as the Pats beat the Dolphins, Jets, Colts, Steelers, and the other 10 teams they play this year.
I hope to make it to more than one game this year!
GO PATS!!!!
So, has anyone else been enjoying the free trial of MLB Extra Innings on DirecTV?
The slow motion and replay on the DVR are very cool. It's amazing to me that the umps get it right so often - in real time. Plus you can blast past the adverts! Althought the Dodgers bobblehead commercial is pretty funny/cool.
With HDTV you can see what the pitch is by reading the threads on the ball. Amazing!
Gotta go. Got a Giants - Dodgers game, called by Vin Scully no less, in the can, and it needs watchin'!
My main question, outside of where else to visit for special beer week events, is should I carry my handgun in downtown Philly?
Philly areas breweries to look for are Sly Fox, Yards and Nodding Head. You might also find Flying Fish (NJ) and some Dogfish Head oddities.
Good web sites:

The touristy areas of Philly are reasonably safe from violent crime, IME, although it's been a few years since I've visited. The hairy areas are/were West and North Philly and that's not where the bars or attractions are. Anyhow, most of the violent crime is between people who know each other, rather than random attacks on visitors.
I'm not a cop or a lawyer, but it just seems like common sense to research the local gun laws; perhaps talk with your department or the Philadelphia PD. Pennsylvania has some weird laws, so there might be oddities about carrying there. Presumably, professional police forums or the NRA web site will give better advice than you'll get here.
Given that you'll be going into bars, stadiums and other private property where they might have restrictions on carrying, my gut instinct is to leave the gun at home. If you "look like a cop" even out of uniform, I can't imagine anyone hassling you. In any case, your most valuable weapons when confronted with most crimes is common sense and a cell phone.
If you're looking for a way to control the smoke escaping, you really can't go wrong w/ the fireplace cord suggested here. I'd suggest using temp resistant silicone as opposed to the fireplace cement though. The fireplace stuff gets pretty brittle with all the moving around.
Rut Roh, Rorge!

If you're into baseball Citizen's Bank Park is a fabulous place, plus you can check out the Fightin' Phils.
Most of that Fightin' being in the stands, right?
Not in Philly.
