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.

Euge,

Where are you getting pork belly for <$3/lb? Can't find it in Dallas for anything less than $4.

Have you tried an Asian market? The one by my house gets it on Thursdays and charge $2.50/#.

Did you see Ruhlman is coming out with another charcuterie book?  Salumi, I think it's called. 

Ooooh?! (rubs hands together)
Yeah, that is really exciting!  They have it listed on amazon already.

Not released yet though. I'll snap that up when it is. I'd like to get a first printing.

You can pre-order it, that should get you a first print, right?
