Important matters concerning the existence of Humanity - BACON

I made Kolache yesterday filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon. They turned out really nice. I'll be having them for breakfast all week.
I also made some with blueberries and cream cheese filling. No bacon, but good all the same.

A WEEK?? I admire your willpower.
 
I know that vegetables are my friend. I also know that I could live on a plant-based diet. My wife is a Pescatarian (which is a fancy way of saying that she eats mostly plant-based stuff, but also thinks that eating fish is okay).

I choose however, to eat meat. I eat meat because I think that animals are tasty and if I wasn't supposed to kill them - and eat them - then they simply wouldn't be so tasty to begin with.

Enter bacon. I really like bacon.

Perhaps not to the extreme of a friend of mine who has a carved-in-wood-plaque the size of his mantle over the fireplace, which simply reads: "BACON IS LOVE".

No, not quite like that, but I do love bacon.

This brings me to something that many of you may already know of; Costco and Sam's Club have bags of cooked, crumbled bacon that you can put in anything you like. It's diabolical how easy they make it to pig-out on bacon. In case you don't believe me, here are photos of the packages:

1-1/4 pounds of pre-cooked-ready-to-toss-down-your-pie-hole, bacon. Suffice it to say, that I am on my third year of continuously having a bag of this stuff in the refrigerator.

My DS (when he is home) likes to throw a little in an omelet in the morning. I like some on my salad. Don't get me wrong, I'm not piling this stuff into a cereal bowl and spooning it in my face. If you don't have any will power, then I might suggest staying away from this stuff.

Judiciously used - a bag of it lasts a long time - unless I have friends over for brunch on the weekend.

I belong to both clubs, and I can tell you that there is no difference between the brands. They are probably both packaged by the same manufacturer. I will tell you this however, it's pretty pricey stuff (about $11 either place).

I appreciate everyone's concern about my heart, but I assure you that I could quit at any time. This stuff doesn't have a hold on me. ;)
...so I don't understand how anyone can eat such inflammation inducing toxic, group 1 carcinogen, calories-fat-laden MEAT.
Personally, I'd start with a bowl of granola cereal, coconut milk, blueberries, and avocado; cup of coffee and carrot juice. + Amen.

I am making weekday bacon right now to aid in recovery. Having a morning bacon and last-cherry-tomatoes-from-garden sandwich on marble rye toast. with a little bit of bacon onion jam, and 100% tart cherry juice with a splash of OJ. I am a savory soul for breakfast. I read That Post and nearly keeled over, wondering at the “why, just why?”

This is why we can’t have nice things.

This is what happens when you don't eat bacon...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have been a happy visitor to the Amish Market since 1996. I must have a cast iron stomach, because I have cheerfully eaten my way through various stalls and counters, as have the generations of sponsor mids I have introduced to it. Maybe it’s because I have a Navy stomach that has a library of E. Coli from the world’s garden spots.

To each their own. It would be statistically unlikely for 100% of people to like a place. I have to respect their experience and opinion.

Now I feel I need a pretzel log with bacon later today, but’s it’s only Tuesday.

I have tried every one of these foods except for carrot juice. (Everyone has their limits.) I can say with great confidence that all of them are very good — and would be even better with a side of bacon. 🤪

I also know that if we give the good @Capt MJ enough time, she’ll unearth some recipe that incorporates all those ingredients and bacon in a heartwarming dish that she serves her sponsor mids to great reviews. 😉 I would like a copy of that recipe, please.

... so definitely carrot juice is an acquired taste. I discovered it by accident. In the commissary, about 30 feet from the entrance, there's an area with all kinds of organic juice such as banana, pineapple, celery, spinach. My last visit with my primary care doc, I complained about "tight" knees which bothered me now for 1.5 years. She suggested carrot juice. So after drinking it for three days with my breakfast, the tight knees went away. Now I just bought a heavy duty juicer... but it created so much mess.
 
@severn your digestive issues could be as simple as a contact with a germ. On your hand. A door handle anywhere. and then consumed when eating anything.

Over the 6 yrs I’ve paid attention, and countless experiences of all the shares here and elsewhere, as well as Mids and their families, I’ve never heard of a single issue.

IDC if you try the place again, but it’s unfair to
label them the source of your ‘issues’. Hundreds of others would have experienced the exact same outcome. And I suspect with the popularity of the place with Mids, etc, it would be front page news. Literally.

Also, my SIL is a butcher. With a 4yr meat science degree. Bacon does have an expiration date.
