I took the May Bacon of the Month package down to Maryland to cook in my mom’s kitchen.

I was there to help her move into her new apartment. The old house, three storys and four bedrooms, was getting a bit too much for her to maintain. I thought the bacon would be nice as the last thing I cooked in the kitchen where I learned to bake and cook.

I decided to keep half of the package to be the first thing cooked in mom’s new kitchen. I felt it was an appropriate food to break in the new place.

May’s bacon had an intense smoked flavor and aroma. In fact, my mom’s old house smelled smoky for several days. The stove in the new kitchen had a very strong fan which quickly removed the smoky scent from her apartment. This bacon, like all of the Bacon of the Month club selections so far, was rather salty but not unpleasantly so.

You may have noticed that I haven’t cooked up February or April’s bacon selections. Those packages were given to the wonderful AlCantHang and I’m waiting on word (and photos) of their consumption.

June’s selection will be arriving soon so if you want to volunteer your kitchen for my “cooking the Bacon of the Month Club bacon in someone’s kitchen other than my own” project let me know.
