The First Word in Bacon is pronounced "Bake"
« on: December 14, 2010, 05:31:57 PM »
For darn near perfectly cooked bacon, put it in the oven on a foiled cookie sheet, bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

That is all.

Then, take it out at 15 minutes, and cover with brown sugar and ground pecans.   =)

Then cover with another layer of bacon.

This is the perfect thread today. One of my coworkers gave me my Christmas present this morning -- bacon flavored lip balm.  :laugh:

I fry it in a cast iron skillet, I like my bacon soft. Goes perfectly with with over-light or sunny side up eggs.

I use to work in the Kroger building, in downtown Cincinnati, and the cafeteria in the building use to deep fry the bacon.  Yum......

Expensive but all sorts of different types of bacon:

Actually, the first word in "bacon" is "ba"...as in "ba, ba, black sheep"...which is kinda odd...because I don't think bacon made from sheep would taste as good....  =|

My daughters, 6 and 8 y.o. were spending the day with friends.  Lunch included a big platter of bacon.

No 2 daughter was on rasher #8 when the host told her the bacon was "turkey bacon".
She put down the unfinished strip and refused any more.

Kids know what good is.

I did this today.  Not bad.  I think I like bacon on the griddle better, but this was way easier, especially while trying to make some pancakes and eggs at the same time.

I'm smelling bacon in my mind as I read this thread. 
When I was single, I used to roll a half a pack of bacon up in a newspaper and pop it in the microwave for a few minutes. You end up with a crispy block of bacon, and you throw the grease soaked paper in the trash can.  The secret is not to empty the trash for the rest of the week.

Split and softly toast an English Muffin.  Place a nice slice of your favorite cheeze on each slice.  Then a couple, three slices of thick bacon.  Then a slice of tomato.  Then some Spinach leaves.  Then put on a nice, large soft poached egg and then ladle on some lime enhanced Hollandaise sauce.  Serve with some American fried potatoes with some crumbled bacon, mushrooms and fried onions and chopped sweet peppers added into the potatoes.

Pardon me while I go check the bacon stocking levels in the Launch Control deep freeze.  This thread has made me hungry.

Fedex as I think they're the only ones who overnight stuff packed in dry ice.  =D

Even though she actually has all my "perfect woman" attributes, I of course totally kid on the getting the boyfriend out of the picture because

1) Having once been cheated on, I will never do anything anywhere near trying to break people up or work under the "he's no good for her" angle. I would never put another guy through the feeling being cheated on, or even having to deal with the feeling of his girl leaving him for someone else.

2) Besides being a co-worker, she's also become a good friend over the last few years and considers me her mentor. I'd be kind of a heel if I took advantage of that trust relationship.

I'd probably explore redefining our relationship if she ever broke up with her boyfriend for reasons not involving me. In the meantime she's fun to hang with as a friend and eat bacon with (to semi keep things on topic), just as long as I never become this guy:
