Two weeks ago I saw something made with caramelized onions and it looked
so good I wanted to do something with onions. Today I thought of a
quiche with bacon, onions, cheese. Used a store bought pie crust. Cut
up an onion, bacon, but instead of opening another package of bacon, I
cut up some Spam already open. Grated some sharp cheddar, a little
Romano. Six eggs and cream.

Good for dinner tonight and lunch for another couple of days.

Tomorrow: Factory raised chicken parts.

Factory stuff is more consistent. I'd pay a premium for it so all the
parts match.

Yes, I'd do it again. I cooked the spam along with the bacon and
onions. I did not add salt as there was enough from the other
ingredients.

I try. I went to the farm stand yesterday and they have a good thick
sliced applewood smoked. It is John Martin & Sons out of PA. I've
mentioned Nodines here before and this is 9 points to Nodine's 10 but
does not have the shipping charges. A 20 ounce package is 6.99

Free range chickens tend to be lean and tough just like
wild game birds.

Maybe kinder to kill the factory ones that are confined
and mistreated? It's mercy killings just like we kindly
do for our miserable pets.

Bonus: much tastier too

Just my thoughts: Probably good enough with Spam but
would be better with bacon or sausage. Sounds like one
of those breakfast casseroles that I've had before but
never made myself. They *are* good!

Typical bacon lovers would have a half dozen pound packages in their
freezer.

I've got one in the freezer from last December. Love the
stuff buy often too lazy to cook it all at one time. :o

I did buy and cook a 1 pound chub of ground sausage the
other day. It was worth the effort. Still 2 patties left.

So again I say - maybe best that we kill them for food first
rather than the happy free range chickens. You don't kill
yours, I've noticed. Sadly, you *do* kill and eat their
live babies in the shell for breakfast. What's up with that?

The bacon that I have in my freezer now is from Nodines.
It's a 16oz package of "Hickory Juniper Bacon."

First time I had that, the Juniper part sounded odd but the
bacon is first class in taste.

Why? Bacon is always available. I bought some a week or two ago.
Besides, it's hardly a necessity.

Before freezing it, lay the strips out on waxed paper and roll it up,
then put it into a ziploc bag.

You can defrost and cook as many slices as you feel you have the energy
for.

Nonsense. We eat freerange chickens, they are plump tender and far
tastier than caged birds.

That applies to most everything but people stock up when the price is
low and stocking up saves trips to the store.... your philosophy is
why you're always running out of TP mid-wipe and need to use a gym

The high-end bacon that I buy never goes on sale. It's always about
$10/pound (if memory serves).

Whatever gave you the impression that I ever run out of TP? Right now
I have about 50 rolls in the house.

Nonsense, bacon lovers cook and eat the entire package at once... or
freeze what they don't eat... why dirty a pan and clean a dirty pan
more than once. All that rolling and waxpapering is something
unthinking morons do.... cooked bacon freezes well with out rolling
and waxpapering, can simply place it back in the resealable package it
came in with a paper towel. Cooked bacon reheats perfectly in the
nuker on that paper towel.
We don't eat bacon but we reheat cooked saw-seege in the nuker on a
paper plate. We use a lot of paper plates to save labor and hot
water, we buy paper plates in cartons of a thousand for $9.99. At a
penny each it's moronic to dirty dishes for a fast food type meal..
and those paper plates do double duty feeding the cats. We always eat
fried foods from paper plates, those uncoated plates suck up a lot of
unnecessary calories. And paper plates are more sanitary than any
dishes from any dishwasher, that's the main reason why all fast food
joints use disposables.

Dishwasher. I don't care how many dishes, pots, or pans I use.

I find I don't like reheated frozen bacon. It's just not as good as
freshly cooked, and if I'm going to eat those calories I want it to
taste as good as possible.

You don't read here much do you? You obviously missed the memo.
Bruce *does* have one or more roosters and so his eggs are
fertilized (most likely).

My evil store bought eggs are not living, as you say.

Caged birds?? Most chickens raised for their meat are not caged. They
are grown in large open barns. The farmers set up for a batch of birds
by cleaning out the barn and setting up heat lamps, and feed and water
stations. Then they go down to the hatchery and pick up boxes of fresh
chicks. The chicks are set loose in the barn and fed and watered for a
month and a half by which time they are ready for slaughter. They hire a
bunch of chicken catchers to round then up, stick them into transport
cages and take them to the processor to slaughtered and processed for
market.

Two ways I do bacon.
Two slices in a pan. After the bacon, fry the eggs in the fat.

Other method is when I make pancakes. A batch of batter makes enough
for three servings. I put six strips of bacon on the griddle. When
done, two go on the plate, four set aside. Cook the pancakes on the
griddle.

After cooled, the other two servings of pancakes and the bacon go into a
zip bag in the fridge to be warmed another day.

Reheated is not as good but good enough to not have to take extra steps.
I usually alternate for variety. Pancakes on day 1, 3, 5 and not for
another couple of weeks.

When I fry sausage I usually do three servings at a time too.

You are so full of shit it's oozing out your ears... you likely don't
eat bacon because you can't afford to... the closest you ever get to
bacon is an occasional shake of Fako Bacos. I haven't bought bacon in
more than forty years but I often see the big name brands advertized
at like $4 lb... bacon is pretty cheap but more than you can afford.
I'd much rather buy smoked ham hocks from the smoke house in town.

What's even better than bacon is smoked pork belly. It's thick slices of uncured, smoked, pork belly that's fried up but still tender. What's simply sublime is smoked pork belly with aged kim chee and rice. Hoo boy! OTOH, my guess is that when these deadly days have passed, I won't be able to get kim chee aged way beyond reason again. That's life for you.

$4/pound bacon isn't fit to feed to a dog.

I see I was a little low on the price, or else it's cheaper to buy at
my grocery store:

I can vouch for that. I went out shopping for a new gas BBQ last summer,
thinking I would treat myself to a Weber. They are pricey but have a
very good reputation. Around that time you were talking about buying a
Napoleon. They had some of those on display too. They were impressive,
truly impressive. Then I spotted the price tag and thought holy crap Ed
must be loaded. Yep. Fine piece of BBQing equipment, but not the type a
cheapskate would buy.

I would bet not. He likes to hang out and snipe at the normal and
relatively normal people here. He has been kind enough to recognize
there are special needs types here who need his protection. How nice of
him to consider them to besufficiently challenged that they need him to

"Not really," said the kangaroo.

Even though I do love bacon, I normally only buy a package
1-3 times a year. Mostly in the summer for BLTs. I only buy
one as the mood hits me...never a supply kept in freezer.

My current package (in freezer), I got as a gift for Christmas.
I'm saving it for June-July to use with local tomatoes.

There is no such thing as fresh bacon, by default bacon is NEVER
fresh.... bacon is cured pork.

Bacon here, for the most part, is sold in vacuum-sealed packages (which are
Hell to get open, I might add) so it's easy to toss in the freezer. Thaws
rather quickly and when opened it looks, smells, and tastes like it was just
packaged that day.

Bacon in styrofoam and plastic-wrapped packages are also available. Those
are usually sliced in-store around here.

We prefer dry-cured bacon, cut thick.

I only have a couple in there at the moment, but when it goes on sale
I buy 4-5 packages. My husband does not allow me to run out of bacon.

Some people might consider me a bacon snob. I really like good bacon,
and IMO it does not come in a plastic wrapper. It comes to the butcher
shop in slaps. Sometimes it might come in a box and pre-sliced.

I had that Dutch butcher for number of years. When he retired I found
another source, but it was more than 20 miles away, and then the couple
who ran the place retired. Now I am reduced to getting it from a store
that is locally known as the Meat Nazi. The guy is a prick and treats
his staff like shit.I know a lot of people who won't shop there because
of the way he treats his staff, and I stopped going there after an
incident where I was shopping there and he came through and stopped and
blasted each of the employees on duty... in front of other staff and in
front of customers. However.... he does have really good bacon. I feel
like Jerry Seinfeld at the soup Nazis where abandoned his cute
girlfriend in favour of the soup.

That's normal for bacon lovers. We don't eat bacon but our freezer
always has 4-5 packages of Italian saw-seege, hot.
Our pork loin bone-in roast is about to come out of the oven. We like
pork, just not bacon We both think bacon is a giant rip off, a wee
bit of meat and a lot of fat. Pork chops are our favorite.
The only meat we eat is pork and beef, rarely poultry. We'll eat fish
but only fresh caught, near impossible to find here... and we're not
fond of fresh water fish.

I've got several packages of Italian sausages as well but only mild or
sweet, no hot variety. I like it cooked on the grill but will also do
it in the kitchen.

Imbeciles can't read... we eat a lot of pork, dinner tonight was a
pork loin roast, excellent... you fucking brain dead imbecile.
Bacon isn't even food, bacon is pork scrap.
