List your Shooters Part V

[Alpo]

I very rarely eat tomatoes, but on a BLT is one of the very few ways that I like them. But they have to be garden grown, not those hothouse pieces of flavorless red slime that they call tomatoes in the grocery store.

That's like saying socialism isn't just communism light. BLT or GTFO.


...I can't stand tomatoes and I'd choke a BLT down for freedom. Do it it for your country!

Now, if Jamil says somethin about bacon and tamaters, I'll have a full page of comments I don't have to read.

What? I said I liked tomatoes on BLTs! And you have to admit there is no comparison between fresh garden-grown tomatoes (especially from Indiana) and the grocery store tomatoes.

In an attempt to save your soul, I will offer that cooking bacon in the microwave between layers of paper towels also keeps it from getting greasy.

You have to use a boatload of towels and man up with the time on the nuker; I'm talking like 7 minutes+.

Done correctly, it's indistinguishable from pan/oven fried.

...I will also put KFC, etc, in the oven on aluminum foil to cook some extra grease out of it. Works well.

Agree on patting down both bacon and friend chicken with paper towels to remove grease, but the part in bold is blasphemy. Cooking bacon in the microwave may actually be more ban worthy that not liking bacon at all.

I tend to agree. Always cook mine in a pan unless I'm making BLTs and cooking up a whole pound at once, then I use a baking sheet and parchment paper, in the oven at 375 degrees until it's getting crispy.

I save bacon grease in a jar.

That paper towels crap is treasonous waste

Tomatoes were widely known to be toxic only a few short centuries ago... back when we could trust the news! I see no reason to rush into anything.

...and I am strongly pro-bacon.

I went into the experiment with a hard heart full of skepticism, widely expecting to be disappointed, but was shocked by the result. I was so shocked that I served it in a blind taste test to guests and no one could tell the difference. The way I do it, with multiple bacon/towel/bacon/towel layers, plus a plate on top for weight to keep them flat-ish, literally cooks them in their own fat just like it would on the stove. All of the goofy microwave bacon cooker things are useless and produce a lesser result by far.

I'll accept the well deserved heat for wasting the grease, but I'm fat enough already.

...and only a heathen places fried anything on paper towels. Wire rack is a must, or at least parchment, lest ye be wantin soggy goods.

I suppose I can say this now. A couple years ago something crazy happened, I lost my taste for bacon. it was really strange. It lasted for nearly a year. I couldn't stand the smell and the taste would turn my stomach. the good thing is that for the last couple of years I have loved it as much as before that drastic illness.

I never said anything before because I didn't want to get perma banned.

I'm glad to hear you've made a full recovery. Those would have been some dark times indeed.

Okay, while we're all confessing our sins... A few years ago I bought a set of those plastic "molds" for cooking bacon in a cup shape that you could allegedly fill with delicious fillings of your choice. The cups are a lie!

They were similar to these, but not exactly the same.

Medication can do that. I had a problem with tuna fish like that for a time. Made me gag. Meds were changed (not because of tuna) and the problem went away.

I very nearly bought those, except I discovered that they're nowhere near large enough for a decent hot fudge sundae bacon wrap. I decided to hold off until they made a version of the proper size.

The problem I had with them was that the bacon would stick to them even using cooking spray, so when you'd go to take off the "bowl" you'd wind up with a pile of bacon crumbs.

There is no better sammich than thick cut bacon fried up just right still dripping a bit of pork fat on fresh sliced garden maters garnished to you personal taste. On toast if you will.

I will have 2 of those please.

You were almost the first for my ignore list, for the microwave nonsense. But you saved it with the bacon wrapped hot fudge sundae.

There is no better sammich than thick cut bacon dried up just right still dripping a bit of pork fat on fresh sliced garden maters garnished to you personal taste. On toast if you will.

That was for supper yesterday- big ole helping of bacon from the Amish store, juicy tomatoes, mayo and lettuce on toast. Hmmm, wonder if there’s any left. BRB

I can think of worse problems than a bacon bit generator.

In fact, can we harness wind or solar to just do that? Can I grow bacon?

The possibility of any being left around here is nil.

I don't care how much bacon there is I will stack it high and get my mouth around it.

Right?? "Leftover bacon"... said no one, ever.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

The love of bacon is innate. Most of us are born with it. Sadly there are unfortunate individuals that, through no fault of their own, are born without the "bacon gene". We should look upon these individuals not with scorn, but with pity and feigned understanding.

This is a typical young child's first experience with bacon. I still pretty much make the same face today at age 60.

 

[deo62]

Shouldn’t these non-bacon lovers be sent in for reprogramming?
