    A pig died so that she could boil a part of it into shoe leather. Then you had to eat it. The things we do for sex…

    I hope you call your girlfriend BB from now on. Not because it is a bastardization of “Baby” but because it is short for boiled bacon.

      If you put a little water in the pan with cold bacon it will steam for a bit and help render out the fat before it then deep-fries in that fat. To much water and you get whatever this is.

        Y’all’ve seriously never tried grilling your bacon in the oven? The fat just melts off and leaves your bacon perfect. If you like it crispy, just leave it in for a bit longer.

          Yea, I use my air fryer for everything. Wife wanted bacon so I figured what the hell, put it on bake and it was the best bacon ever and all the fat poured right out crystal clear.

        Not even. You can totally submerge the bacon in a pan full of water. As you say, the fat renders out and you then fry it in that fat when the water all boils off.

        This is literally just boiling it and taking it out of the water like it’s fucking spaghetti or something.

        Fried bacon fat is amazing…

        There is only one true way to cook bacon and it’s in a CI pan and in it’s own grease.

          In the oven is superior. You get an even cook and the rendered fat can be saved in the fridge for cooking later without all the charred bits that you get in a cast iron skillet.

            Charred bits? The hell, your CI pan shouldn’t have any charred bits in it. I like crispy bacon anyways.

    Frying both the egg and bacon would probably use much less energy and be 100 times more tasty than whatever this is… If I have to boil bacon, I might as well not eat it at all… 😅

      This gave me a sudden flash of Uncle Roger. If you boil bacon, bacon is fuckt up. Aya!

      I’m washing the pot now. It was boiled in the same pot water as the eggs. Saves electricity

        I just fry my eggs in the bacon grease, same energy, probably not as healthy but it doesn’t look like a crime scene either.

        You’re saving 2c and wasting bacon… If you want to boil everything maybe pick foods that aren’t depressing when boiled.

    Did she boil the fucking bacon? Is that how it came out that way? I don’t know it’s weird. I mean hard-boiled eggs just do that sometimes but what the fuck. It’s not hard to throw it in a frying pan. My fiance bakes it which is… Fine…

        Call ICE on her. If she’s white, tell them she’s irish. They don’t count as white again, so she’ll get sent to Venezuela where she might learn something about cooking. It might be cooking meth, but that’s still preferable to whatever that atrocity in the picture is.

    I’d be grateful to have anyone in my life that would think to cook for me. I’d eat this without complaint and thank them.

    Then, I’d offer to teach them to cook. We aren’t born knowing how, it’s a learned skill.
