What started as a battle of 32 meats has come down to this…

Steak v. Bacon for meat supremacy!  I really thought Crab could score an upset over Steak, but Steak ended up CRUSHING Crab leading to this incredible match up!

The good people at So Good Blog have a “tale of the tape” on this final, epic battle!  Voting for the finals opened today at noon and will go through Friday! When I voted it was Bacon 51% over Steak 49% – it’s gonna be a nail bitter til the bitter end!

Head over there NOW and may the best meat (Bacon) win!

 

 

 

GO BACON!

So I wake up this morning and pop down to my computer to check emails before starting the day and I see this from a former colleague of mine, Rob (SHOUT OUT)…

“You’re doing it all wrong”

I’m doing what wrong?  I mean, that could apply to a number of things (just ask Better Half).

Then I click on the link and this is what I find…

It’s some dude telling me that I am cooking bacon the wrong way and then proceeds to show the “correct” way to make bacon.

Now, I agree that what he is showing is a proper way to cook bacon.  The biggest point is using a low heat and getting the skillet hot before placing any bacon in the pan.  But to say that I am cooking my bacon incorrectly, well sir, I just won’t stands for it!

Evidently I am not alone either if you scroll down and read all the comments.  Most people, including yours truly, take advantage of the oven method.  No fuss, no muss and my bacon comes out looking just like his “correct” bacon EVERY TIME!

Still, some good advice for “novice” bacon makers out there.

Oh and Rob – suck it!
