Brunch

[444 Magnum]

As much as I love it, I only buy and eat bacon about twice a year. I buy a 3 pound pack in the winter and again in the summer. We just had BLT's with most of the bacon and some beautiful tomatoes. One slice nearly covered the entire sandwich. I didn't take pictures of them but here's a shot from last year.

Took the rest of the bacon this morning and had it with an onion omelette. A little cantaloupe to make it feel healthier and some chocolate milk to wash it down and settle everything.

Yes, I still drink milk. It keeps my stomach in balance.

I got the bacon a little too brown. It was so lean, it scorched in the pan. I had to add some bacon drippings from the fridge to aid in cooking. These are some of the brown pieces-they were still tasty.

Good eating and filling.

I prefer my bacon with some "tooth". A chewy bit of resistance.

Ruthie likes hers so crispy that you could crumble it and snort it.

If you over cook bacon;

save it and chop it up for a Spinach or other salad.

Definitely his n hers bacon here

I like mine chewy and she prefers hers to resemble something like cinders

We had bacon, tomato, and avocado sandwiches on Sunday. Delicious! Like the OP, we only purchase bacon 2 or 3 times per year, enjoy it for a few meals, then we are content until the next urge strikes.

One of my long time favorites uses the bacon grease in the skillet to brown some sausage, then make a cream gravy with the drippings. Really kicks the biscuits and gravy up a notch or two! Fried egg on top, step back and give me some elbow room.

Did someone say biscuits and gravy?

I think it's time to cook a pan!

Are you guys only eating bacon twice a year because of health reasons?

Are you guys only eating bacon twice a year because of health reasons?

Pretty much. I'm on cholesterol medicine and the wife doesn't like to cook it so I don't push it.

Can you fax me 2 or 3 of those

Brunch on the run.

Make them with english muffins and they travel well. A thermos of coffee and one of these out of my pack enjoyed while sitting on a stump and admiring the view of the sun rising over the mountain is close to heaven.

Wobbly, so the ends touch when suspended on a fork. While spending a bunch of time in Canada on a regular basis ten years ago or so, I asked our local butcher about the "Canadian Bacon" thing. He said there is no such thing as "Canadian Bacon", what we are talking about is Shoulder Bacon. I would look through his meat counter and find these large chunks of very lean bacon and snatch them up. He said that stuff doesn't sell, Canadians in general like their bacon fatty....whereas most Americans like it leaner. Those lean chunks were what was left from the shoulder at the point.

I never met a brunch I didn't like.

Nothing like a little Bacon to enhance the flavor of a mundane tasting sandwich! Just had a rasher this morning with our omelets.

Have heard the term RASHER before.

What quantity is that?

My girlfriend bakes bacon in the oven. Racks are available from Amazon, and there are plenty of cooking hints on line. The bacon comes out perfect, with no grease splatter...

Bacon bits are the fairy dust of the food community.

At my age guess I eat all the foods that are not good for me but what the Hell. Here goes. I love bacon, Ham, eggs, fried spuds, hot cakes, peanut butter, honey and venison. Any one else feel this way?

 

[Rustyt1953]

I can list all the food items that I don't like on a Post-it.

Love me a good BLT with mayo.
PB & bacon is one I've never heard of, but doesn't sound half bad.
I'm a real nut for peanuts and peanut butter, and of course, bacon makes everything better.
