What's Cooking

[poliphilo]

The last time we cooked steak and kidney we did it in the oven for too long and with the heat turned up too high. The stupid thing is I could smell it burning but refused to believe my nose. This can't be happening, therefore it isn't. 

This time we cooked it in the slow cooker- which uses about as much power as a light bulb and would take days to burn anything. 

Steak and kidney- with the emphasis on the kidney- was one of the things I most missed when I was a vegetarian. Top of the list was bacon, but steak and kidney came in at number two. Number three was pork crackling.

I've taken to eating bacon for lunch. Either I fry it  with eggs and tomatoes or I cut it up small, fry it to a crisp and scatter it over pasta.

Re: Daily bacon?

There was a report yesterday (which I largely disregarded) about bacon causing cancer.

Ah well, "we owe God a death".

What's that quotation from?

Enjoy the bacon. ;-)

I had to look it up to be sure. It's Shakespeare, from Henry IV part 1

Yes, you're going to die.

You're going to die anyway but bacon will get you in the end.

I have to say, though, that I agree with you. Everyone goes on about Easter eggs, but to me Easter bacon is much more interesting.

I detest Easter eggs- that sweet, milky chocolate- horrid!

i heard all you gotta do is drink orange juice after you eat bacon and it neutralizes that carcinogen or something like that. that was long time ago. who knows.

funny to quote Shakespeare (aka Francis Bacon) when talking about bacon.

here's something absurd and really short if you care to read it.

I drink orange juice first thing every morning. Does that count?

Thanks for the link. That's comical.
