   But I love bacon. I refuse to join this movement.

   I don't eat bacon mostly because I don't eat pig, but today I accidently ate bacon that was slipped into my Quizno's sandwich (something else I don't normally eat...).
   
   Funny how you are stopping and I just started...
   (actually, I think I'm done now.)

   Why not wait until after the election? Celebrate your (probable) victory and anticipate your just rewards. Then go eat your bacon in private and never mention it again.

   Last time I looked, J-Walk, today was 10/17/2008, not 04/01/2008 (or 2009)!
   
   You trying to slip out of the bacon bet?

   To those For whom bacon was a mere fad, I say "Fine. Go on your way." Those of us who have been eating and enjoying bacon, steadily, lo these many years will simply have more bacon for our own enjoyment.

    Toad is the real bacon freak here. I wish he would win the bacon. I only offered to bet bacon because I figured J-Walk would feel compelled to call my bluff.
    
    Toad, I am sorry.

    Curtis, there's a very simple solution. When I ask your for your address for the Bacon of the Month Club membership, you can just give me Toad's address.

    Good ridance! I'm sick up and fed with bacon myself.
    It's a pain in the rump to cook!
    Takes forever. You have to time everything else around the stupid bacon.
    It stinks up the house all day.
    The mess is horrible.
    You have to be very careful to not ruin any clothes! My Palin hocky jersey is destroyed!
    Plus this person wants it crispier, boo hoo! This person wants it less crispy! Wah!
    R.O.I. = lame!
    
    I hate cooking stupid bacon.

    Turn oven to 450F place bacon on tinfoil lined broiling pan and check every two minutes, done in under 5 , also crispiness perfection.

    the bacon sizzles and does not sop the entire oven , much easier, give it a try.

    Okay, Dinsdale Piranha, I'm convinced - I'll try it the next time I fix bacon - and it looks like I'm going to be delighted! I like bacon, but I hate the greasy mess and spattering and I'm not physically able to crawl into an oven to clean it anymore, so I'm pretty careful about what I put in there.
    
    Thanks for trying to teach this old dog some new tricks.
43. By Banjo Brad. Comment posted 17-Oct-2008 @06:22pm:

    Only 6 strips?!?
    
    That isn't even enough for me to snack on while waiting for the rest of breakfast to finish cooking. Let alone share with anybody else in the family.

45. By Thrash Cardiom. Comment posted 17-Oct-2008 @06:40pm:

    I just came home with some freshly baked bread and make a couple of bacon butties and then come to J-walk to find people talking about bacon.
    
    Personally I prefer grilling bacon to frying it or baking it. Turn the grill on, place bacon on a grill tray with pan and place it under the grill. Slice bread and then turn bacon over. Do other things like thinly sliced onion which I happen to like with bacon and then its ready. Takes about 5 minutes for thin bacon to crisp up.
    
    No splatter, no greasy mess. You can tinfoil the base of the grill pan so it cleans out easily.
    
    Mmmmm. Lovely grilled middle bacon butties for lunch.
46. By Blayne. Comment posted 17-Oct-2008 @06:42pm:

    My bacon would be way done already by the time you wrapped that cookie tray in foil, heated up the oven, and cleaned up the "foil/tray" mess you created.
    
    One pan, a few spatters to clean up. You know, you are not supposed to fry the crap out of it - there shouldn't be any smoke to "stink up the house".
    
    Yeah Banjo Brad, if you were to put any more than six strips in the oven, you would cause a fire!

    Thats rubbish
    
    You are laboring under the misperception that the bacon in the oven in causing a mess....it isn't
    
    The cooking time is less. FACT
    
    Remove the foil and throw it away..
    you on the other hand
    have to spoon the grease from the pan and then scrub your giant frying pan with its 12 strips of Bacon
    
    You are the one with the mess Not Moi, LOL

    I prefer bacon half cooked in a frying pan. That way I have lot's of grease to fry my egg's in. And then...I pour said grease into a jar I keep near the stove for things like fried spuds etc. My bacon has to be rubbery and flacid...not crisp and crunchy.
    
    But I do loves me some bacon.

    I will never stop baking, frying, eating or writing about bacon. My husband loves it, my dog loves it, and it makes me a hit at all the parties. I'm going to go home and cook with bacon right now.
