Tofu's pretty good if you fry it in bacon grease.

Vulcanized rubber's probably pretty good if you fry it in bacon grease.

Tofu's pretty good if you squish it first and get all the water out. You're left with what is essentially a sponge.

THEN you fry it in bacon grease.

Oh, yes!  I keep forgetting to mention: Another way to work bacon in (although this can turn into bacon overload; I recommend that if you use this, you skip either the layer or the lattice) is to use rendered and chilled bacon fat as the fat in the pie crust.  It replaces butter/margarine/shortening/what-have-you at a one-to-one ratio.

Can you share?  I have two boyfriends already.
And do you do dishes?

I'll do dishes, if you'll share the boyfriends.

I share. You'll have to ask them if they're shareable, though, and in one case it might mean negotiations with his wife. They do both seem to be heteroflexible, if I understood some comments correctly. And I'm trying to get the new one hooked on SU.

Too late!  We have snow, here.  I'm contractually obligated to stay until it melts for the year. 




Also, how do they feel about Montana?  My life seems geographically complicated right now.  (Maybe it's a GCR?)

I'm pretty sure none of us want to move to Montana.  Too much snow, not enough ocean.

Dang.

Have to check out historical records around the Nebraska Sea, see if Montana had coastline then.

Speaking of bacon...something I want to try next time we have bacon in the house. Take a strip, roll it up, maybe use a wooden toothpick to hold it together at the bottom, and bake. Like making a fabric rose, but out of bacon, Could you see putting the finished product on skewers and in a florist box-a dozen bacon roses! No, I've never done this, or ever seen it done. But I like the idea...

I've never actually seen it done, but not only have I been contemplating doing exactly that for some time, but I'm currently considering asking to join the Mad Scientist Wars, and sending everyone a dozen bacon roses as my opening gambit.

Is this like the Evil League of Evil? Because Captain Hammer*volunteers to be your arch nemesis if it means he gets bacon roses.

It MUST be evil.

Because now I've got Marie Osmond in my head, singing "Bacon Roses."  What more proof does one need?
