It's like he got his voice back. The two previous installments were tortured cries for harm. This one is by the guy who wrote Achewood.

I'm holding you to this

(I registered just to make this joke...)

A... pork pie hat?

Shit.

well, i know how to make a bacon lattice, and a ballcap is an easy enough shape. it's gonna take me a couple weeks to hook up because i just got back from vacation and don't have any fun money left over.

It can be cheap bacon, you know. It'll be just as much fun for us.

I would contribute to a Kickstarter for this.  Or, hell, come my next grocery trip I'll just buy extra bacon and mail it.  Now that I live in North Carolina (DID I MENTION THAT I LIVE HERE NOW?), bacon is practically free. 

Alaskans get that fat oil check once a year.  We get a box of bone-in pork chops delivered to our door by a smiling but weary Emeril Lagasse.

Glad you cracked that 666 posts seal, Turbo.  Some folks would suspend their accounts just to keep a particular number.  Which reminds me - Q owes us 2 posts.

I've always bought the cheap bacon. Last week I splurged and bought the good stuff. It was just as I suspicioned. The cheap stuff is just as good.

I buy bacon ends and pieces because they're cheap and I don't care what my bacon looks like so long as I'm the one that's eating it.  Sometimes there's a huge chunk of pure bacon fat in there, which is just good news all around if you're saving up for some bacon grease pastry empanadas.

Yeah, I used to buy the ends and pieces too, but now it's got maple bacon in it which fucks everything up.

Trader Joe's sells ends & pieces and they're surprisingly good. I don't know that I'd use that just when I want to eat plain ol' bacon, but in a dish where you need diced/chopped bacon (a nice pasta dish, or a braise where you're laying down some bacon fat before browning your roast), it's friggin' perfect.

Maple bacon is an abomination.  If I wanted that shit I'd let my bacon be contaminated by the maple syrup from the waffle or pancakes.  I accidentally picked up a pack of it one day at the store from inattentiveness.  Got out to the car and saw it while I was putting the groceries in the back.  I took it right back inside and exchanged it for thick-cut applewood smoked.  Damn, now I'm hungry.

you know what's good? chipotle bacon. mix up like a quarter cup of brown sugar and half a teaspoon (or more) of ground chipotle, then dust your bacon with it and throw it in the oven for about 20 minutes. it's candied a little bit, but not like maple bacon, and it's spicy but nice, kind of like breakfast barbecue

I thought about sitting on 666 for a bit longer, but I wasn't sure how to call attention to that particular post count without posting about it, and I didn't think far enough in advance to give you all warning at #664 or so.
