Bacon

Nothing special, not web stuff here....

[tangor]

Had some torrential rains this week. Flooded part of the house. The drying carpet is annoying. (Smells of all that now determined to be deadly mold and other stuff... don't buy that, we've been living with mold for 400 million years)

The stinky needs to go, and will, given a few days. But nothing soothes the nares like frying bacon.

That's what I'm, having.

And if your serps are effluvium not happy, find a way to "fry bacon" to make that stink disappear. Recently it was local radio, a $3k expend produced $44k in response. And through the website. Just a heads up that if you live in or near a major metro area you just might have a better market than you thought.

Fry some bacon.

Never met a bacon I didn't like <G>.....we'll an empty bacon wrapper isn't so good. Means time for a road trip!

How many things bacon flavored or flavors of bacon have you all encountered? I'll start - bacon flavored vodka.

Long ago I ordered a bacon and peanut butter sandwich in a small cafe. The didn't have such a thing.

They did have
1: a side order of bacon and
2: a peanut butter on toast sandwich on the menu though,

so i had to suffer through putting the bacon in the sandwich myself. It was exhausting, but that just made it taste all that much better!

I'll bet your napkin was spotless as all the fingers were manually cleaned? Reminds me of my occasional breakfast:

Two plain waffles liberally slathered with peanut butter with three maple bacon strips in the middle. Anything sticking out is cut off and inserted. To be proper BOTH waffles MUST have all inward facing voids filled with peanut butter.

1st alternate version has peppered bacon.
2nd alternate version has blueberry in the waffles. I've cut back on this version as it's too distracting...<G>

Whoa! Bacon connoisseurs!

Bacon wrapped franks hot off a barbecue grill, carbon black, inserted in a hoagie loaf split and smoke broiled (same pit, just off to the side) with cheese, sliced onions and tomatoes and some pickles (leave off for those on a salt free diet) and forget the mustard and mayo: cholesterol heaven!

Sadly, my current gluttony is now only one of those, where in the bad old days it would be two (and as much as I could of a third) and too much beer. This getting old stuff is for the birds. :)

I have fond memories of a cute little Perl script/insert that I wrote over a double decker BLT (that actually had the L on it, with cheese, onions and pickles).... those where the days. Sigh.

@Hoople... the oddest bacon product that I ever encountered was back in the 1970s. It was a personal lubricant for "ahem" that had a bacon flavor. And as the advertising said, it was a "sizzling" product. I am so happy we've grown past that kind of nonsense.

Back in the 1950s we had Bacon/Cheddar Cheeze Whiz that came in the little glass jars with the metal lid you needed a church key to remove. Tasted great, and for years later (even into the 1990s) those little glasses served many an orange juice. And the company that made all those little jars, as well as all kinds of glassware, whose name combined a boat mooring device and something some folks do on a repeated basis at a pawn shop actually has a very nice website these days. (Webmasterworld IS a webmastering website, we can't let it be taken over by bacon lovers!)

Boffins solve bacon crisis with newly-patented plant
Months before the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared bacon a carcinogen, American boffins may have found a solution: algae that tastes just like bacon, but without the bad bits the Doctors at WHO say could cause your untimely demise.

The eukaryote in question is called Dulse (Palmaria sp.) and, as explained Oregon State University, is already in demand as a tasty addition to various recipes. Boffins at the University had been experimenting with a new strain of the plant designed to boost growth of abalone, a delicious and expensive shellfish. Results were good: abalone grew faster on a diet of modified Dulse than they did on other foodstuffs.
