Today is our national holiday here in the province of Québec. I took the day off (I work across the river in Ottawa) and I am taking it easy. I kinda forgot that grocery stores are closed today so I had to dig up in the freezer where I found a nice piece of pork belly. It is cooking on the mini-max while I smoke a cigar in the pool drinking rum. Oh yes, I forgot, I made a batch of naan bread dough. The plan is to slice the belly and eat it on the naan bread. Hopefully, it turns out good! Life is hard.

Looking good, do you get July 1 off work too?
That's a nice designer can of butane fuel, btw!canuckland -
@Canugghead I work in Ontario so I don't get both. I took one of my vacation days. Peoples who work in Québec are getting both but they don't get the civic holiday.
Designer butane fuel? I guess that Iwatani is supposed to be one of the best brand of torch and stove but I am somewhat disappointed with their torch. The one I am using is a Sterno brand and it works better. I keep the Iwatani as a backup. I use the Sterno to start the egg and as a cigar lighter.

Thanks for explaining the holiday situation there, learned something new after all these years I use my butane torch to start the sparks, then enlarge the fire with hairdryer or looftlighter. My no-name torch doesn't ignite although I can see tiny spark, I have to aim the nozzle straight down about 1/4 inch from a non combustible surface to trap the gas for ignition! Got to love the "<insert this end" instruction on the can!canuckland

The belly is coming along nicely. I basted it with a mixture of hoisin sauce and rice vinegar. It smells really good and it has a nice sticky texture.

I was fine at just pool and rum. The belly on naan bread deserves a full heal clicking salute. Well doneColumbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

Looks great paqman. Like you, I was also off today. I opted to do chores around the house (accompanied with the occasional beverage to quench my thirst), but took a short break at lunch to fire up a pizza on the Egg (no pictures). I then took a dip in the pool. Wish I had had something exciting to slow cook during my work!

Gorgeous! After trying naan indirect, in tandoor, etc. I've pretty much settled on KISS naan cooked direct like yours. Doing it indirect with multiple stones burn too much lump; my tandoor is too small to cook naan evenly and comfortably (needs more practice).canuckland

@paqman: Any chance you could please share your naan recipe?

I'd definitely hit that.

@GrateEggspectations I tested a few recipes recently. Yesterday, I tried the recipe posted by @JMCXL last week. The recipe comes from the book "THE FOOD LAB, BY J. KENJI LOPEZ-ALT, Better Home Cooking Through Science." which I also happen to have but did not start reading yet. You can find the original thread here: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1196319/naan-style-flatbread
Last week, I tried a different recipe that I slightly modified. You can find the thread here: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1196242/naan-bread
I preferred the texture of the food lab recipe but the taste of the recipe in my thread. I'll probably do the food lab recipe again but adding ghee or clarified butter to the dough. Both recipes are really good.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli -
