I sincerely apologize for my husband’s crass behavior. He also posted as the crackpot talking to himself — “Louise Wyers.”

He has not been himself lately, as he has yet to receive a large wire transfer he is expecting from an offical at the Nigerian American Bank. Is is very much overdue at this point.

Since both my husband and I have serious weight problems and other medical issues, pork belly isn’t on our menu. We look for healthy recipes for folks on fixed incomes.

Jaden – No too common around here, either. Unless you’re willing to pay $50 for an entree.

Peter – Colicchio’s braising method makes for good prk belly.

Snooky – Dashi is a fish and kelp stock… Chicken or vegetable stock should work in a pinch.

Jo – Thanks!

Jescel – If only there was some sort of study to back it up. Oh wait, there is.

Heather – Look at what you started…

Sweetbird – Saw your post. Artisan pork bell has a nice ring to it.

Wiffy – Wash away the fats with green tea?

Argus – Fermented yam? Sounds interesting…

Js – It’s a nice little book, isn’t it?

@DocChuck

Apparently you are REALLY ignorant. Every italian female I know understands what a “she-boner” is. In fact, I get a “she-boner” anytime my boyfriend “Big Bear” walks in the same room with me of our rented trailer house.

Even though David Wyers weighs 437 pounds, has no teeth, and has to take pills he buys off the internet for his erection dysfunction disease, I think he is really cool . . . unlike my first four husbands.

And you can bet I am going to keep feeding him all the pork belly I can. So, thank you for the great ideas.

Health food or not, I want that pork belly. Your version looks so elegantly gorgeous, as always.

One of the dishes from the Japanese cooking book we thought of doing was the braised pork belly, but we opted out because we just had pork belly the previous week. But a little pork belly every week can’t be all that bad.

Gotta love your skillet caption.
The Chinese love braising too – and simple Chinese restaurants do it for hours and the meat is oh-so-tender. A favourite one is layered fatty pork braised with yam (the blue-grey one) in fermented yam, dark soy sauce etc.

I will happily second the motion that pork belly is health food.

I just recently had some braised Berkshire pork belly at a little restaurant called Artisan. It was beyond divine. Anything pork makes me weak in the knees…
