:rotf:   Have your husband & sons learned to get in the kitchen, quick? 


Remember years ago when they first came out with vegetarian "bacon?"  It was like strips of tofu or other vegetable matter, or possibly soylent green, with parts of it food-colored red/brown.  Who would eat that, let alone put good money down for it?  I'd rather eat real food, and work it off.  Same goes with butter.  And anything else. 

Ah-yup. Butter is a requirement, not an option, in my kitchen. That plastic goo they call "spread" or "oleo" or "I sure the hell wish this was butter but it ain't" doesn't darken my doorway.

Over the summer, my wife was cooking up some collard greens that we had received from the CSA we bought into.  Well, she had been told that bacon was a necessary ingredient in anything dealing with collard greens.  So, the bacon's sitting there, and I grabbed a slice . . . and then thought, "I wonder if . . . "  I walked over to the pantry and pulled out a gummi worm.  I ate it.  Conclusion:  Bacon does not make gummi candies better.

Before you BS me for that blasphemy, think about this:  I tried it.  You probably didn't. :tongue: :fuelfire:

No bitchslap from me, BSS. I admire your courage and intestinal fortitude just admitting that you could startle your system like that. I mean, right from bacon -- a natural food with all sorts of nutrients -- to plastic worm-type sugar crap with absolutely no connection in any way.

I's skeered of dat one.  :bolt:

Duh,  it wasn't bacon flavored.  What did you expect??

Actually country ham and hocks are necessary for the collards to make em shiny.  Don't forget the red pepper and some good pepper vinegar
