Quoting: Dace ...then I cooked some porkchops while also converting video files to make my daughter a DVD of Powerpuff Girls season 1. Does the bacon not get soggy? Nope..just let it cool first, make sure to squeeze all the air out of the bag, refrigerate, then only about 10 seconds in the microwave the next day..shit heats up quick. |

My wife, a manicurist and healthcare worker, gave mom and my stepfather a quick nail trim. My stepfather is in his 80's and confined to a wheelchair. Mom is in her 70's. They are doing all right though. |

I divide it and wrap it into 1-2 lb portions then freeze it. cooked up 2 packages today because I was bored and well...bacon is yummy. |

User ID: 76716753 United States 04/23/2020 08:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to the grocery store and bought about a month and a half of food. Then I sanitized it and put it away. That took half a day. Then I gardened, mostly herbs. I’m hoping the food supply is stable, because I don’t have the ability to expand the garden this year. It’s a nice day. Is the Sams bacon good? I bought a new brand to cook on Easter and it wasn’t very tasty. Not at Sams though. IDGAF |

I used to fry 2 pounds of it at a time, put it in the fridge in plastic bag, then we would put it on BLT's or break it onto salads. All done while it was cold. Sometimes we would just eat a strip 0r 2 right outta the bag. |
