[malthaussen]

8. You're alive, aren't you?

Then you're certainly not too old to lust after a young model.

5. i assume you do not have cardiovascular issues

in which case both are bad

a nice margarine?

yeah i know i am a party pooper

[pinboy3niner]

7. Nope, no CV issues here

My docs always tell me they wish THEY had my BP. I tell them to eat more bacon.

[restorefreedom]

12. i have had doctors tell me

"a little meat won't hurt."

i tell them nah, thx anyway


my brother eats anything that moves and has great #'s.

ya never know...

[pinboy3niner]

14. I eat a helluva lot less red meat now than when I was younger

I just sort of gravitated to more fish and chicken and being satisfied wih a VERY small portion of steak.

These days I can make a meal of macaroni salad. Or half a pound of bacon.

[restorefreedom]

16. love pasta salad

you can have my share of the bacon

[pinboy3niner]

18. My supermarket happens to have a great pasta salad and I get it all the time

It's so good that I don't even have to add bacon to it!

[restorefreedom]

19. heh. nt

[Sanity Claws]

9. Either one will do

Whatever is left over, you can comb in your hair and make it look sleek. I'll bet you'll have a lot of new dog friends too.

[pinboy3niner]

10. I stopped doing that after the unfortunate pit bull incident

[magical thyme]

22. did you breakfast at the Olive Garden?

[Major Nikon]

13. Bacon grease is lard, so you really don't have to decide

Although you really should use chorizo.

[pinboy3niner]

17. They definitely are not the same

There is nothing like drippings from hickory-smoked bacon.

Chorizo? Bah! Give me bacon any day.

[Major Nikon]

25. There's certainly nothing wrong with bacon

But it doesn't compare to properly cooked chorizo and eggs wrapped in a corn tortilla with homemade salsa. That just takes rendered pig lipids to a whole new level.

20. You asked for advice...

This is my favorite bacon. It has good smoke but also with a hint of sweetness. When cooking you should lower your temperature slightly as the higher surface sugars on the bacon will tend to burn rather than just caramelize. The very best use for this bacon is a blue cheese bacon burger prepared as follows...

Prepare burger normally. When nearly done top with bacon. Sprinkle with NO MORE than a tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese and top with a thin slice of american cheese. Using an appropriate pan lid, dome the burger for 30-45 seconds to melt the toppings...

Trust me-I'm a bacon guy and spent years as a fry cook.

[A HERETIC I AM]

29. "I'm a bacon guy and spent years as a fry cook."

Yes, but have you mastered the art of NAKED bacon frying?

[SeattleVet]

31. OK, I have to ask..

how do you get the bacon to get naked?

[A HERETIC I AM]

32. You have to be a professional to know these things.

(It involves hours and hours of gentle talk and persuasion involving wine. Lots of wine. Bacon loves wine.)

21. Buttah.

Nothing but buttah.

[LiberalEsto]

23. I agree

Butter is the national vegetable of Estonia

[cwydro]

24. I love Irish butter the best.

But I just love butter.

I ate it even during the margarine craze lol.

My cholesterol numbers are excellent by the way.

[jonno99]

27. ^this^ Butter is better (especially the Irish butter)!

From the movie 'Julie & Julia':

Is there anything better than butter?

Think it over. Every time you taste something that's delicious beyond imagining, and you say, "What is in this?"

The answer is always going to be "butter."

...

Here's my final word on the subject.

You can never have too much butter.

26. Let me be the wet blanket on this saturated fat party

Cook your eggs in boiling water ...

Poached eggs still have the runny yolk, but have zero added fat ....

[cwydro]

28. Poached eggs are my favorite,

but I do butter the toast that I perch the poached egg on!

[Major Nikon]

30. Let me be the wet blanket on this boiling eggs party

Cooking eggs at or above boiling temperatures renders the egg proteins dry and rubbery.

For best results, cook eggs in the shell or poached by temperature, not time at no more than 180F, ideally less if you like softer yolks. I like mine at 148F at which point the yolks will have a custard like consistency.

33. Bacon grease will make the eggs taste better.

[mackerel]

37. Now I want eggs fried in bacon grease, a beer and a burger.

[bamademo]

38. Fried eggs are of the devil. Eggs are gross except in baked goods.
