BACON LIVES MATTER !
Oh, the porcinity!
Swickers is a fully enclosed shoe site and enclosed shoes must be worn when entering the premises.
You will be immediately asked to leave if you do not follow this direction
Pinging Byron to post 10. :)
Been getting that thin bacon that comes precooked in the flat pack, like 15 slices for $2.50-3 bucks. Pull out what you want, lay it in a paper towel, nuke it 15-20 sec and it’s done. You can also heat it the skillet for breakfast, and cook the eggs in the bacon fat that renders out while heating. Yum!
I hate those murderous muslim scum.
Noooooooo!!!!!!
Oh, that’s cool. I’m saving that.
nice!
I must admit, I completely prefer bacon I cook myself in a pan, but...to get 70% of the pleasure of eating bacon without the mess/effort/time, well...I like that option, too!
Oh the HOGmanity!
And there’s nothing like the aroma of frying bacon, too. I’ve got a big 16x12 electric skillet for just such auspicious occasions... I’ve found bacon marked down and it gets cooked, wrapped in foil and in der freezer it goes. It doesen’t last long around here. ;)
They’d have to carry me out on a slab.
Noooooooooooooooo! The humanity!!!
LOL!!!
Oven on bake 330F. Line a cookie sheet with non stick aluminum foil. Lay out bacon single file.
All ovens are different, so watch cooking time. I cook 20 mins, then flip over. Cook until golden.
Take sheet out and remove bacon from it. Here is the beauty part, wait till the fat solidifies. Roll up foil and toss in trash.
