This thread has finally reached an inevitable Climax...

Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Climax Locomotive #3, built by the CLimax Locomotive Works in Corry, PA 1910. Formerly owned by the Moore-Kepple Coal Co.
 
That is a darned nice handsome locomotive. Two reasons to celebrate. A Climax and...1.1 billion bacon servings in this past year, up about 6% from the previous year.
Today is the 14th annual INTERNATIONAL BACON DAY. Always the Saturday before Labor Day...mark your calendars...and at all cost, avoid all bacon impostors

Celebrate with some Canadian Maple Bacon Jam

This recipe encompasses 3 favorite things: bacon, wine, and Canadian maple syrup.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs bacon
- 1 large sweet onion
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup malbec wine
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions

Pre-heat frying pan over medium heat. Dice onion and sauté until translucent, then set aside.

Chop bacon into small pieces, and fry until cooked completely through. Drain bacon, then add to slow cooker along with the chopped onions, maple syrup, wine, and balsamic vinegar. Turn slow cooker on high and cook the bacon for about 4-6 hours until most of the liquid has disappeared and the bacon jam has turned a deeper colour like so:

Serve in any way you might enjoy bacon (breakfast sandwich anyone?).

Sounds great, but I think I might use apricot preserves or sorghum, probably the preserves, instead of the maple syrup. I know this is arrant heresy and probably will get me on some kind of watch list, but I don't much care for maple syrup.

Or catfish, and I'm an old East Tennessee boy.

I've been laid-up in bed or wheelchair for over three months. Today was my first visit to my friends LGS since early May. Too bad I have no MONEY since I'm still not working. He had some nice old Smiths and a 12 GA/20 GA pair of Ithica M37 Featherweight shotguns. Drool.

Now back to your regularly scheduled non-linear drivel.
 
Hey, how about those Visigoths? Defense needs work, but they're hell on offense.

They really trounced the Cassowaries last week.

I have no idea where that thought came from. I think it's time for me to go to bed.

Oohhhh, now I am coming around to your way of thinking. Cassowaries...Ostriches...Ostrogoths...Visigoths. No, that's not it either.

Yeah, but their work is cut out for them next week.
They're facing the Berserkers.
