Some mistake, surely.

This brings me to my question…

I have never refrigerated my (real) butter nor my bacon grease. I do keep both in a covered container. I’ve been doing this for over 50 years and we’ve never gotten sick nor had the fat spoil.

In microbiology class we learned that microbes don’t grow in fat. They need a carbohydrate source of food so it’s perfectly safe to save the pure grease.

Do you refrigerate yours? I love being able to throw a dollop into my pan for eggies regardless if I’m having bacon with it and my butter doesn’t tear the toast to pieces. It’s always ready to spread.
 
I don’t keep it anymore as more than a teeny bit of fat sends me running … 🚽 :roll_of_toilet_paper:

So i use a little extra virgin olive oil one the rare occasion i fry eggs , otherwise i hard boil them in the microwave. And this is why i so appreciate all the virtual bacon i can get!! Bacon is only a very occasional treat with years between treats - but it is what it is 🤷‍♀️
 
I love hard boiled eggs but, I also love poached eggs. To keep them from sticking in those little poaching cups, I just give them a wipe with whatever is handy and they slide out. I like them in the cups better than twirled into water! Neat and tidy!

After my stomach surgery years ago it was about five years before I could eat eggs or fat! I missed them so much but now I can eat them again. I can’t go crazy but an egg and two slices of bacon will do just fine. Oh, I missed them!
 
Talking about healthy food… my wife often buys “turkey bacon,” which is not even like bacon in taste or texture. The worst of it (in my opinion) is that it sticks and fouls up the surface of the pan (unless you use a non-stick pan). Might as well fry up bologna. 😒

I will say that if you don’t compare it to real bacon, only judge it on its own merits, turkey bacon is not bad. Kind of like beef jerky.
 
I have resumed ignoring, it is still boring,
And I am almost snoring because it is boring ignoring something.
 
Judging by your post - you seem to have failed in your efforts to ignore this thread 😉
Perhaps it was past your time for bed
And this fact messed with your head
Which then, to posting here you were led
Or perhaps you were wanting to be intellectually fed?
 
There’s been bacon in a lot of threads. That’s one vegetable you can’t ignore!
 
I got spoiled when I lived in Lake Zurich, Ill. There was this ma and pa shop with out of this world drop dead good Italian Sausage. Never found a place that has ever come close.
 
I find it is difficult to ignore this thread because of the scintillating conversation. And because of the bacon. 🥓
 
I like baloney too. Baloney sandwiches like Mom used to make. When she ran out of bread she would serve me rolled up baloney slices, some cheese cubes and a cut-up apple and tell me I was having the same lunch as the Pope.
