I’m sure most of you have seen pluto’s Hot Bacon Grease thread that’s running wild here in MPSIMS. I read it, and I loved it.
However, it made me crave bacon. Quite badly, in fact. So badly, that I cooked up a big mess of bacon and onions, and slapped them on some toast last night. Lots of mayo. And because of pluto’s description of the bacon odds n’ ends, I chopped the bacon up before I made it. Let me tell you, it was perfect! I’m never making bacon for this purpose (instant bacon fix) any other way. I make a vow right here and now to try to utilize each and every suggestion in that thread.
Who else made bacon last night JUST because of pluto?
I BOUGHT bacon this morning…double-smoked and sliced from the slab at the Polish butcher…but mainly because my daughter, little Pianola, demanded a mess of sauerkraut and pirogi for dinner this evening.
The Ukulele Lady MAY be joining us, or she may be having dinner with a (first-time, at forty) pregnant friend in Manhattan. In case she comes home, she’s requested that I use lean ham instead of bacon in the 'kraut, given her female-based Mortal Fear of Fat. But I may sneak some in anyway.
(The women of the house are having panfried lean ham-steak. Banjo and I are dining on kielbasa, which is what God Himself suggests with sauerkraut and pirogi.)
That sounds wonderful! Bacon and onions and mayo? Will you make me one if I bring some drinks?
What goes well with a “Cholesterol Special”? Coke? Beer? Milk?
:::wanders off wondering if we have any onions…of course I know we have bacon:::
Oh, beer is the only thing to drink with it. Preferably, you’ve already been drinking plenty of it, and you’ve just stumbled home and put in a movie - Raising Arizona most likely. No one said anything about inside voices when you’re drunk and the yodeling starts.
I read this first, then the original bacon thread… Now I had bacon on the mind all day, and it took forever for the day to go by. As soon as got home, I put some bacon in a skillet, some toast in the toaster, and a big fat tomato on the cutting board. Yum, BLTs for supper!!!
