Now days it would be hey kid here's a fourty, ,.........

Hey kid, you can't buy that stuff.

I don't think had written notes serve as proper ID these days

....today the kid would pull out his Blackberry and 'flash' the clerk with a 'text message' from the uncle............ :chuckles

[hoshow]

In hindsight maybe the fact that my uncle needed beer and smokes before noon was an early warning sign that he didn't live a healthy lifestyle. He died in his fifties (everyone on my Dad's side died before 60 I think. They were all raging alcoholics, smoked like chimneys, and wouldn't eat anything that was not fried in bacon grease first. My dr told me my Dad's side of the family is to blame for my ridiculously high cholesterol. I don't think they were checking for it back then.

They were a pickled walking grease solid, common enough back then before we were told that eating like a man was bad for you. The drinking, and smoking we always knew about because Mom's everywhere would say so even before the Doc's figured it out.

I used to work with a lady who cooked everything in bacon grease. We used to tease her that there was product like "I can't believe it's not butter" but it was a bacon grease substitute called "facon grease"

[Junk Yard Dog]

What's wrong with cooking with bacon grease? Sounds like a great idea

[mrb7]

There is a substitute for Bacon grease that's actually quite tasty and can be flavored as you please (unlike Bacon grease, which always reeks of bacon).

This wonder product is called lard.

What's wrong with the smell of bacon grease, I love bacon

In the proper context there is nothing wrong with it.

Bacon with pancakes. Bacon with eggs. Bacon on cheeseburgers. Bacon bits on maccaroni and cheese. BLT.

But it wrecks a pie crust. And lard makes a hell of a lot better pie crust than Crisco.

There are other examples.

EDIT: My dad was an Army mechanic during the Korean war, and he swore that he believed the diesels in the deuce and a half would run on Bacon grease if you strained it clean.

[Junk Yard Dog]

Bacon pie, now you are cooking with gas!

[hoshow]

I used to think that bacon went with everything until BK attempted to sell bacon flavored sundaes this past summer. I hope someone got fired for that brilliant idea

[Junk Yard Dog]

I didn't hear about that, do they still have them??????

[Junk Yard Dog]

Bacon gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

[hoshow]

Not with ice cream. I think the idea was a colossal failure

[Junk Yard Dog]

Just give me the bacon then, I am not allowed ice cream anyway

[hoshow]

I like ice cream. Maybe we could split one. I willl put the bacon on a plate and eat the ice cream

[Junk Yard Dog]

That works

[hoshow]

I'm used to splitting stuff. the kids have totally different tastes and I usually have to mix and match everyones meals to keep them all happy when we go out someplace

Wow does that bring back memories! My daughter would eat anything but my son was another story. It was so bad some places we went I would just order an appetizer and eat the stuff he would turn down. Got really bad when he started eating my appetizer too. Lost a bit of weight back then as I remember. Ah the memories of raising kids! Thanks for the jog of memory! Bill
