I would gladly trade not ever being able to eat bacon again for never having to hear about bacon again.

Sriracha too, but that's not a sacrifice.

Bad comparison. Bacon and Sriracha faddishness is silly and irritating, but destroying a good piece of fresh tuna would make me irrationally, psychotically angry.

I have found my taste for bacon to been waning over the last few years. I am getting old and all, but it has started to just taste overwhelmingly salty most of the time.

I will still eat pretzels till my gums bleed, so idk what the bacon issue is.

Thinking more on it, is "nitrate free" bacon loaded up with more salt? I have never looked into the process but they have to get the stuff cured somehow.

"Nitrate free" bacon has a shitload of nitrates from celery juice.

My local donut place does a bacon maple bar and it's my favorite loving thing :o: and it's odd because otherwise I generally don't like stuff like that like chocolate covered pretzels.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

No poo poo, "pretty upset" would be appropriate for what I said about tuna steaks, though.

I'm making some homemade pasta. I always do it by hand. Not using eggs because the Mrs. doesn't like eggs, and I'm surprised at how much more water it's taking.

Wouldn't eggless pasta just be super gloopy? I'm trying to imagine the texture and all I can think of is "pasty with a hint of glue". Not being a dick, I'm genuinely curious how they came out.

Nah, you just didn't know.

The Mrs. and I had a whole discussion about this last night. Since I'd never made it eggless, we went and did some research into recipes.

The recipe my mom taught me as a kid:
-about 4 cups of the hardest flour you can find (about a pound)
-2 whole eggs
-a big pinch of salt
-just enough water to make a dough

Make a flour volcano, sprinkle the salt over it, dump the eggs in the middle, work them in, and then add just enough water to get it to come together. Once you have a dough, knead for a few minutes, make a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill in the fridge for about an hour.
This makes a very reliable pasta. Note that the harder the flour (more gluten), the more water it requires, and the longer you should let it chill.

Lots of vegan pasta recipes that you find online have all sorts of different egg replacements, but all you really need is a little bit of fat, so last night we just used about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and a lot more water. Came out AWESOME!

However, this dragged us down the rabbit hole of bad internet recipes. Look at this one from Emeril, it's got a shocking amount of eggs in it:

quote:

1 pound all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 large egg
8 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

10 loving eggs, that's drat near an omelette.


Worse is this one from Giada, it's got the wrong kind of flour:

quote:

2 cups cake flour
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
4 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

The Mrs. suggested we do that, and I vetoed it, since I really don't like chia seeds. This is what led us to our internet searches on egg replacements for pasta.

And there you sat, eating hamburgers while the world cried.
The dilution of bacon makes me sad. At first I was excited that it was everywhere, but now it's just microwave-grade ham suggestion sprinkled on everything. Bacon is a force for good but it won't save us. The best bacon belongs on peanut butter and banana sandwiches or as part of a Saturday morning breakfast, not halfheartedly meted out over a cupcake or a donut.

Got a late crop of sweet peppers in before the freeze, and just made up a fantastic mushroom and pepper soup. Y'all gotta try this.

Sweat an onion in a pat of butter and a bay leaf, minced garlic, minced ginger, paprika, and some 'season completo' (mostly msg and more garlic) for 5ish minutes, add diced sweet peppers. Continue to cook on medium heat until peppers are cooked and onions are sweet. Add a strong broth and dot of liquid smoke or powdered smoke, simmer. Add tore up dried mushrooms, cook till mushrooms are soft. Remove bay leaf. Blend, but leave a few lumps. Add dash of sesame oil. Salt and pepper to taste.

No photo because it's really just a pile of brown slop, but DELICIOUS BROWN SLOP that tastes a fair bit like a nice mushroom and pepper sandwich. You could add sausage too!

I got back from ten days in Italy (mostly north Italy) a bit ago. The food was largely as expected- way more raw meat than I expected though.
