(I usually have to have diversion pancakes at the ready to throw the feeding children off the scent of the bacon). ig:

My husband thinks he can "sneak" cook bacon... like the aroma isn't going through the house no matter how many fans you turn on. LOL!

Wait, you don’t cook up the entire package of bacon all at once and eat it ???

Right! This is how we do it

No, I like my arteries as clog free as possible.

I know the whole country has gone bacon bananas, but not us. As much as we like it, the salt content in it makes us thirsty the next day.
Over the years, we’ve eaten very little processed foods, and because of that, our tolerance to salt is low.

Sounds like an excuse to drink more beer if you are thirsty [emoji50]

That is so pretty! I feel a little misty just looking at it!

Right! This is how we do it

ig: Oh yea, in a cast iron skillet!!!
Who came up with the idea to bake bacon in the oven?!? :thumbdown:

Right! This is how we do it

 

[React]

Don't hate on bacon in the oven... you just have to know how to cook it (no preheating). I like my bacon crisp but you can never argue with the cast iron

Probably should go to lunch now that I'm starving LOL

As long as it isn’t the “pre-cooked microwaveable” bacon I’m all good with any method....but if you try to seeve that floppy, pasty-textured turkey “bacon” you’re looking for a fight

 

[ctrav]

Put up your dukes Matt...turkey bacon is so yummy! Much easier to cook, a lot less splatter so clean up is a breeze. Cooked turkey bacon has better uniformity so it looks better on a sandwich. The health benefits alone are as clear as TFP water!

Just kidding...real bacon rules!!!

 

[zea3]

Oven bacon is not bad. It helps when you are in a hurry and only have one free burner!

 

[Brentr]

Microwave bacon when you are in a hurry [emoji2]

 

[Arizonarob]

Ewww!

Sir, we are going to have to ask you for your man card back. Microwave bacon.

Actually we can get really crispy bacon for salad in the microwave using paper towels. You should try it. [emoji482]

Milder temps here in my neck of the woods so it was a swim and grill time!


Grilled chop, fried kale and taters followed up with a Hoppy Wheat Ale curtsey of Sam Adams!

Love the kale! How do you fry it?

I smoked (walnut wood chips) some tilapia with an crushed almond & cocoa butter topping -

 

[ctrav]

I get the bag that is already chopped. Olive oil in hot pan, dump in the greens and cook for a minute then stir add salt, pepper, onions and jalapeños. Add a couple of splashes of white wine vinegar and keep stirring. Turn heat to low cover and simmer for 15-20 min. Don’t let them get to dry by adding chicken broth if needed...yummy!

i cook my collards the same way...

 

[Brentr]

Time to start the weekend [emoji482]

 

[Brentr]

4 different kinds of sausage [emoji2]

 

[ctrav]

Stella is always good...

 

[JoyfulNoise]

Got some fresh Sockeye Salmon at Costco and it’s preped for smoking with some hickory -







Yeah, that’s a mimosa in the picture...what, you want to make something of it :grrrr:

(The wife had a “Muffins, Meat & Mimosa” Jewelry party for a friend that sells Swarovski...I was just drinking the leftovers...)
