LOL! Maybe would have been if you were in the bed of the truck. HAHAHA!!

 

Flip, I’ve got a camera that will give you brownies. 🤣

 

You do Del? That sounds great! SO my wifey made oven baked chicken legs--- they we --- ok.

 

Last night the wife made "Taco Bake" it is one of my favorite meals that she makes, although it is likely very bad for me.

last night's meal was made with an expired kit, and although I could taste a bit of staleness in it, it was still delicious. I don't think the store sells the kit anymore, so I am guessing that this was likely the last time that we will have it, although the kit isn't needed in order to recreate it, it just makes things quicker and easier.

 

 

HA HA HAHA!!!

 

We quit using taco kits some time ago-- when we found out that they were just chilli powder and cumin and salt we decided to make our own from now on. Then just buy homemade soft taco shells, and toppings. (Although we do make a trip every so often to "the spice merchant" in Wichita"). Fresh roasted chillis from the green house, when in season, is a plus too :-) I will have to make you a pouch of taco seasoning next time I make a batch.

 

yeah, that's what we decided, and we had one kit which was enough for one or two people, but there were 4 of us. my wife picked up the extra ingredients to make a few extras.

Last night Isabelle made bacon, and had it ready for us when we got home for BLTs. Seems like bacon is inconsistent. last night's package was delicious, but I have had some in the past that was not much more flavor than cardboard. It's weird.

 

I was thinking of getting bacon from a real butcher-- just to get a better quality-- I don't know if I will or not.

 

My parents used to get bacon from Klema's in Beloit, it was mostly just ham trimmings, not much fat, and it was delicious. It wasn't your typical bacon. I don't think its called Klema's anymore.

 

Yeah that is exactly who I was thinking of-- There is a local guy, here, that goes to our church, he runs a butcher shop-- I was thinking of trying him.

 

I am anxiously awaiting your results, we have been buying and making more bacon recently than we had in the past. We probably need some better quality bacon, for health reasons.

 

The last 2 packs we bought were crappola-- all fat no bacon-- and they lay it in the package so you cant't tell.

 

Yep. they do that on purpose. and its frustrating. The consistency is pretty unreal. sometimes its thick cut, sometimes its so thin you can't separate them, and have to use two strips to make up for one. Sometimes they taste great, sometimes they have little or no flavor at all.

 

the best cure for that is to make your own! Two pork bellies dry cured for about 7 days, then smoked for a few hours...then you can slice how ever thick you want! :-)
