BACON!.....................
And it’s cheaper!.............
Didn’t know it was bacon day, but I had some with a breakfast of eggs and baked potato hash seasoned with sage.
You can’t celebrate it in muslime UK
Fry 6 pieces of bacon in a cast iron skillet until crispy and reserve bacon grease.
Set bacon aside.
Saute’ one whole 1/4” sliced vidalia, Texas 1012, or walla walla onion in the reserved bacon grease until onion clears.
Remove onion from the skillet, draining the grease in the process.
Crumble bacon and toss with onion.
After eating go slap yo’ mama!!
LOL, never understood the appeal of it - people’s absolute obsession with everything bacon. Don’t get it, not at all.
And, I come from a bacon - loving family. Messy to cook - and way way way too salty...
It’s State Fair time in Iowa, where all the fair food is wrapped in bacon. Mmmmmm bacon.
Iran has a secret Bacon underground cult ,LOL
National What?
It is my creation that consists of homemade breaded and fried (in olive oil) eggplant parm slices
and vegetable lasagna. Seasoned just so. Mix some garlic powder and
basil flakes and a dash of black pepper into the Progresso Italian Style bread crumbs
that I use to bread the eggplant slices. And the eggplant must be fresh -
preferably home grown in my vegetable patch. As are the fresh basil leaves
and fresh tomato cubes and the diced red bell peppers.
(The red onions I always buy.)
And since this culinary project is takes so much time/effort, jarred
Classico tomato and basil sauce may be used - but if I have some of
my own homemade sauce from a recent batch, I certainly use that.
And whole wheat lasagna noodles (overcooked so as to be soft enough),
lots of fresh pressed garlic, ricotta (I won’t again get into the argument over
the appropriateness of using small curd cottage cheese instead),
mozzarella AND some grated Monterey Jack cheese…
You get the idea.
Serve with a bottle of of Cabernet Sauvignon or Claret Red Bordeaux wine.
Homemade sourdough rolls to accompany all of this is optional of course.
Look at me - going into the spontaneous ‘food rant’, and it’s not even the weekend.
There is no reason for this ‘food madness’ now - I just finished a big enough breakfast.
Maybe I need to see a doctor, or psychiatrist, or maybe the ghost of Julia Child…
You either love bacon or you’re wrong.
Yes, bacon can be added to the parmalagna, of course.
Iowa Fair is over, but don’t be depressed! Minnesota State Fair starts tomorrow and also has a cornucopia of bacon, such as Big Fat Bacon, 1/4-lb of maple-glazed bacon dusted with a blend of seven peppers and sea salt, or try Chicken-Fried Bacon Fries.
Uncured bacon and low sodium bacon are available. My favorite is Hickory Smoked bacon.........................
Wow, that sounds great!
BACONNNNNNNN!
