You're sick

You guys have no imagination. I used to keep it in a cup, had I ever even thought someone would find it sick, I'd have taken a picture of it.

But we already knew you were sick lucifer, so it wouldn't be much of a surprise... Now it is..

But why keep it in a cup?

Because I didn't have anything else to keep it in? You use it for things like making gravy, sauteeing onions, that sort of thing. Toss some in the pan when you refry beans and it makes the beans taste really good.

The only problem is that bacon is expensive.

?? Gravy is made very different here...

You so some meat in a pan, but before that, you put in a chunk of baking butter. You let it melt in put the meat in it and fry it. Then when the meat's done, you add some water and there, you got gravy

But shouldn't you eat the fat WITH the bacon?

Is your gravy going to be thick?

Here, to make country gravy, you put some bacon grease in a pan, then throw some flour or corn starch in it. Pour some milk, put some pepper, and it's done.

The problem with using butter is that the butter has very little flavor.

The bacon grease has lots of flavor.

OK ok ok, i've been thinking about it, and i can thinking of some good uses for fat too
But still
pictures?
why would someone go out of their way to take a picture of bacon fat and then turn it into a small animation

Because they knew it would disgust somebody? LIke I said, if I'd've thought it would have that effect, I'd have done it too.

It's just two pictures, load them into two layers in the GIMP, then save it as an animated gif. Not like it's any real trouble or anything.

Edit: and suateeing with bacon grease is preferred over sauteeing with butter, generally. Spanish rice: sautee some minced garlic and onion, add a can of diced tomatoes, some broth, and your rice. Spice it up with some salt, pepper, and cilantro. When it's done, it's good. The bacon grease makes a huge difference. Taco meat: brown the hamburger, stick in collander and drain. Put some bacon grease in the pan, sautee your onions. Add diced green chiles, cook for another minute or so. Throw in the hamburger and a can of diced tomatoes (or a diced fresh tomato), cook until no liquid remains.

man
that's like twenty minutes of work
On MY computer it'd be more like thirty or forty
PLUS the time to eat the bacon
AND the brainstorming time
AND the time to think of places to post it and go around posting it there
basically, you just spent an hour taking pictures of bacon fat all to disgust some people for a couple secs?
psychopaths

We've always sauteed (I can't spell that) with olive oil...

KamP · Post by **KamP** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 10:36 pm

I do that too
then again, my fam in morocco owns an olive field, but rarely has money for meat, so i guess that makes sense, huh
Bacon Fat for Weaks!
Olive Oil for Life!

P.S.: Why is this such a hot topic
