(53,339 posts)I just sort of gravitated to more fish and chicken and being satisfied wih a VERY small portion of steak.
These days I can make a meal of macaroni salad. Or half a pound of bacon.

(53,339 posts)There is nothing like drippings from hickory-smoked bacon.
Chorizo? Bah! Give me bacon any day.
Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)But it doesn't compare to properly cooked chorizo and eggs wrapped in a corn tortilla with homemade salsa. That just takes rendered pig lipids to a whole new level.

(8,976 posts)This is my favorite bacon. It has good smoke but also with a hint of sweetness. When cooking you should lower your temperature slightly as the higher surface sugars on the bacon will tend to burn rather than just caramelize. The very best use for this bacon is a blue cheese bacon burger prepared as follows...
Prepare burger normally. When nearly done top with bacon. Sprinkle with NO MORE than a tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese and top with a thin slice of american cheese. Using an appropriate pan lid, dome the burger for 30-45 seconds to melt the toppings...
Trust me-I'm a bacon guy and spent years as a fry cook.

(24,382 posts)(It involves hours and hours of gentle talk and persuasion involving wine. Lots of wine. Bacon loves wine.)

Is there anything better than butter?
Think it over. Every time you taste something that's delicious beyond imagining, and you say, "What is in this?"
The answer is always going to be "butter."
...
Here's my final word on the subject.
You can never have too much butter.

Poached eggs still have the runny yolk, but have zero added fat ....
cwydro
(51,308 posts)but I do butter the toast that I perch the poached egg on!
Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)Cooking eggs at or above boiling temperatures renders the egg proteins dry and rubbery.
For best results, cook eggs in the shell or poached by temperature, not time at no more than 180F, ideally less if you like softer yolks. I like mine at 148F at which point the yolks will have a custard like consistency.
