Bringing home the bacon

The kitchen is being stretched somewhat, and no wonder it's hard to make it meet our requirements, though we are working on rearranging all the time. (How I'd love an old-fashioned vicarage, not for some grand living rooms; I crave sculleries, outhouses and pantries.) David has just bought a slicer, as he has started to cure his own bacon. The pig arrives next week. The slicer is his birthday present to himself, and is as above and to be found at:

The bacon is in progress and will be ready next Wednesday.  It is a bog-standard 'dry cure', and I'm sure in future there will be some weirder creations.
