“It has to be cooked to the point of disintegration. If there’s any tiny bit of fat or chewiness to it, I won’t touch it. ”

Separated at birth I tell ya! Separated at birth. LOL

BarbaraB: If the problem is permission, I hereby grant you three bratwursts per year.

PubsGal: I finally have an item to add to my Christmas list now.

johngl: It is a toy. Just not a pointless toy.

Kyddryn: Keep up with the sticker campaign. You are doing fine work, my friend.

Meanwhile, regarding the Receive Bacon? Some friends and I have ben placing stickers on hand driers in bathrooms all over the country that say “receive bacon” on them, but only the ones with the three wavy lines. Why, oh why, does it amuse us so??

I like my Foreman grill, but I have one of the old ones with the attached plates, and cleaning it is a pain in my big ol’ bottom, so I don’t use it as often as I could. Oh, well…

Absolutely one of the finest porcine products propagated by man.

I fry a pound at a time, saving the fat of course, then store it in the fridge. If I need a fix, it takes about a 15 second zap in the micro to warm it up. It is also handy to chop up for a salad or a potato topping.

And the fat? I use it, sparingly, to flavor green beans, asparagus, or fried eggs (among other things).

I am dying to try bacon from the now famous Iberian Blackfoots that give us the $100/lb ham. I smell a food quest.

Applewood smoked is my favorite.

The Foreman grill is still a toy
