Must be that time of year again.

For whatever reason, I like bacon. Now, this does not go over well with the rest of my household, as votania and marxdarx do not do well with pork. As far as I can figure, he just doesn't like it, whereas she actually barfs after eating it.

So, we're a relatively pork-free household. This is generally not a problem for me, as my parents didn't use much pork when I was growing up. The exceptions were the rare instances of salami, pork fried rice, and bacon, and the fairly regular happiness of pepperoni (pizza is good).

There is enough in the way of processed lunch-type sausage meat that excludes pork to make me happy. Pork fried rice is a rare luxury that I indulge myself in (though I do miss making it at home). We have found turkey pepperoni that works for all of us.

Bacon, on the other hand...

I like it. I can live without it. However, when it comes to a choice between have it, or not have it, I tend to have it.


The usual compromise is pre-cooked bacon from Sam's. We get a package of it for about the same amount of money as the same amount of raw. Saves me time, and saves her nausea. Every now and then, someone gets a package of raw bacon and sticks it in the freezer. I usually fry up the whole lot at once, and stick it in a container in the refrigerator, to save her poor nose/stomach.

Dug the package out of the freezer last night. Yum.

Bacon is simply amazing, when it is cooked correctly. That is, in a cast-iron pan with a bacon press. Campfire is optional, though it does tend to make everything tastier.

I was almost a vegatarian, once. Bacon was one thing that I really missed.

I'm glad that you can still indulge. :)

So am I.
