<p>Love churrasco (skirt), flank, and bone-in ribeye. Not a huge fan of the braising cuts, I much prefer pork for braising.</p>

<p>Hi, I am purchasing a 1/4 of a pastured pig this Thursday. A friend and I are butchering it ourselves (she's taken a class and has done this a few times, it's my first time). I am more than comfortable with the roasts, ribs, shanks, and even sausage. However, curing bacon, hams, etc intimidates me a little because it's often done with quite a bit of sugar. If I send out those pieces to a local butcher to be cured, I'm sure they'd use a lot of sugar and probably nitrates/nitrites. Any first-hand experience (I can google, but I'd like recommendations) with recipes for lower-sugar cures and/or brines? My friend has salt-cured her own bacon, but it came out remarkably salty. I am not opposed to some sugar, but would like to minimize it. Thanks!</p>

<p>My satiety meter was completely broken for the majority of my life until I started a high-fat, low-carb diet. I never really felt hungry, I never really felt full. There was a lot of "I guess it's time to eat" or "this sounds good." I initially started with Atkins several years ago and for the first time I woke up hungry, or rather, hunger woke me up. Craziness! </p> <p>I fell off the wagon for a while, but have since climbed back onto the Paleo wagon. I welcome that hungry feeling now, it still feels novel. Full is harder, but I'm getting there. It's very subtle, and it's taken some trial and error to figure out what my body is telling me. My eyes are still much bigger than my stomach and after years of just eating whatever, it's a learning process that I'm slowly mastering. I used to be able to eat huge amounts of food (COE-style), and still feel hungry even though I was painfully full. Now, I can get to a point where I know I just don't need any more and can walk away from my plate with food still on it! I do notice that if I have a meal with any sugar, the feeling of "I WANT to keep eating this" very quickly overrides my "I don't need to eat any more." </p>

<p>I'm not a super-taster, but I've had this issue with a couple of brands of coconut milk. It almost tastes like coconut-perfumed soap. The Thai brand Chaokoh tasted like this most recently. I've also used a few other brands and have found this also. The coconut cream from the Indonesian brand Cocomas is awesome, however. It comes in a small, square container, like a small juice box and is quite thick and delicious...no soap!</p>

I've had lengua at a mexican restaurant. It's very soft but not fatty-soft, just tender and delicous. I think it had been braised for quite a while to get it that tender. I've not tried making it myself.
