Guitarfarm. Naming animals that you're going to eat! I'll have to think about that one. It's certainly not the French way.

I like my pigs. And I give them a good home. I like to stand next to their pen in the evenings and they come over and want their heads or their bellies scratched. They talk to me and I talk to them. My wife says it's a case of "birds of a feather" but what does she know?
What kind of farmer's wife thinks pigs are a species of bird?

She doesn't. She thinks I'm a pig. Not because I'm fat either. I'm sub-180 these days. She thinks I'm a pig for other reasons that will go unmentioned. She just may be right.
I'm no stranger to the pleasure of ticking piglets tummies, but therein lies the danger. Don't you get too attached to them?

I do get attached to them. But I am a realist at heart. Comes from being an engineer. I see things in black and white. I give them the best home that I can give them, I give them room to roam, I let them dig holes the size of cars, and I see that they have a dry roof over their heads and straw to lay in when it's cold. They always have fresh water and all the grain they can eat. However, there comes a day when they must go to "camp". And that's what I tell them too. Guys, you're going to camp! You should see their happy faces light up. I make them happy and, then, later, they make me happy.
So many proclaim their intimacy with the porcine pleasures and yet no mention of the pure essence of swine left on the frying pan bottom. Eat it like caviar, BGLT sammiches, veggies sauteed and caramelized, BG makes everything taste better and the magic doesn't end there.
My granddaughter had horrible planters warts, warts on warts, find the worst pic on the net and that is what hers were like. Weeks of suffering and crying in the night, nothing the doctors did even phased those things. I went online looking for cures,,,it was like magic...result were visible in a day and in less than one week, thanks to bacon grease and duct tape there was no sign that she ever had a wart at all.
About your granddaughter: Bacon Grease and duct tape? Seriously?
Knoxy,
About your granddaughter: Bacon Grease and duct tape? Seriously?
Yes, seriously. If you think this is a little 'out there' do a search on the subject, some of the cures sound really crazy. Just in case you're considering this treatment...the duct tape and bacon grease were separate recommended treatments. We did one foot with duct tape and one with BG. I can tell you the morning I told my daughter we should try it I was expecting her to ask me if I was nuts, but she didn't and was all for it, they were desperate. My younger granddaughter after that only got a few, we just used the duct tape then because it was a lot easier to use. Bam, warts gone, no return.
I should add that there was a side affect to the wart treatments. For a while the girls looked at grampa in awe, understandably so, as not many people know more than a doctor. The 'super gramps' meter was pegged and extra hugs were frequent ....for a while.
Okay, this thread got me thinking. So, tonight, I'm making Chicken Cordon Bleu with bacon instead of ham. I'll serve it over a bed of pasta alfredo. Even better, I'm making bacon alfredo. Damn, I'm hungry.
Razor, the bacon is frying as we speak! I'm using bacon in the chicken as I have no ham, but bacon goes great in alfredo. As soon as I bread the chicken roulades and set them to bake I'll start boiling the pasta.
Ric, I have trout in the freezer now but I plan on catching fresh on friday. I'm thinking fresh will be better. My wife wants to try that. She got very excited when she saw your recipe. If she's happy, I'm happy.

I may fry some bacon tonight just so I can have an Elwood sandwich.

Elwood is in the pan with some onions. Smells good.
Damn! I think I threw Jake in the pan.
Never mind. I just checked. It is Elwood in the pan.

I once again agree with Crowbone. BACON!

Is there nothing duct tape won't fix?
I was thinking there's one more thing to be happy about bacon but Yeah, duct tape, sure.

That's wild. Will it work for bald spots?
I didn't know the answer to that, so I did a quick search...guess what...YOU'RE IN LUCK. Reportedly it will also help animals suffering from mange.

Grump's, it's a long drive, but I'll be there as fast as I can!

How was the trout, Uncle Grumpy?
