Thanks cwillie. I'm going to try some along with the one year stuff. If it's any good the boys will love it at the lake house and I will love it for quick cheesy BLT sandwiches. I usually bake the bacon these days a pound at a time - and it disappears quickly. Being able to get a couple of slices for a single sandwich without having to cook it will be lovely.

NHWM, Iwe had Bananas Foster at Arnaud's last year. Lifetime dream of mine to get there; I worked with a woman who'd grown up in NoLa, moved to NYC for Grad School and talked about NoLa restaurants all the time!

Canned bacon? Half the satisfaction of eating bacon is the smell of it cooking!

TNtechie,, we have some, a friend of ours got it for prepping, The brand is Yoders from Burkettsville, Oh PO box 209 . LOL My hubs pulled the can for the info for you! And it's actually pretty good! We are not preppers ourself, but hey,, if it's free to try why not, so we gratefully accepted it. Hubs can eat it like candy! Just ope the can and reheat it in the microwave in a napkin. We have found its great for baked beans too! And they fit alot of slices in that can.

Does anyone use "canned" bacon? I just read an article that states fully cooked canned bacon has a 10 year shelf life... but I can't find any on amazon or walmart. Just fully cooked bacon in a vaccun sealed bag that is shelf safe for up to a year until opened (then refridge it). It's priced just a little higher than normal bacon so I think I'm going to buy a pack and try it. It might be good for my panty (in limited quantities) or for a camping trip. Wish I could find the canned variety; I would check it out too. My ancestors always cured bacon and left it hanging in the smoke house so I've never heard of canned bacon, although I have fixed some canned sauage (mostly used for gravy or in baked sauage balls).

I vaguely remember my great uncle smoking some hams but we never had a smoke house in my memory at either my grandfather's or my father's home. Dad had a smoke house when he was a boy but he probably tore it down when he built the new house before I was born.

cw,

All of those things sound great! We have a famous dessert here, Bananas Foster. It’s cooked bananas with a sweet sauce that is poured over ice cream! It made table side in our fine dining restaurants.

I made some banana bran muffins yesterday because I had a couple of overripe bananas, I like to add a banana to my breakfast smoothies or oatmeal but I didn't use them up this time.
My favourite thing to make (and eat!) with bananas would be banana cream pie, but I can't even remember the last time I had that.🍌

Today is National Banana Day. I love making banana bread. I put bananas in smoothies. Occasionally, I make banana pudding.

What is your favorite banana recipe?

Burnt,

Hmmmm, now that is a great idea! I may do that too 😊. Otherwise I will be staring in my fridge for 15 minutes and most likely will be out of certain ingredients that I need to cook.

Thanks for putting the bug in my ear about getting takeout!

So, I am going to open the refrigerator door and stare. I have absolutely no idea of what I want to make for dinner!

Ever have those days when you don’t know what you feel like eating or cooking?

Golden and Glad,

Sounds delicious!

Guess! Puff pastry with boursin, asparagus, ham and an overeasy egg! It is quite yummy!

NHWM, I like charred/seared meat too. Crispy on the outside still moist on the inside.

Not dinner but had lunch with my dd at a local fish restaurant. We enjoyed our fish (grilled not battered), chips and cole slaw and sat and chatted for a couple of hours. We packed up some of it for supper. Then she drove me to p/u some meds and they tried to charge me $25+. I have never paid for these meds in years. Got it sorted and need to p/u one rx tomorrow.

The sidewalks are clear of snow now. It feels like I have been let out of prison!!!!

need - if you must eat charred meat eat lots of veggies with it. It's healthier.

Glad,

Just looked up best temperature to roast a chicken. The answer from a cooking school was anywhere from 325 to 450.

Recipes will say to roast at high temperatures but doctors say that it isn’t healthy. It drives me crazy, because I love the charred flavors.

Glad,

Look at the article on zdnet.com

Air frying vs oven baking: what’s the best way to cook?

I just read it. Interesting, it convinces me that I don’t necessarily need an air fryer. My daughter keeps telling me to get one. She has told me that I can try hers to see if I like it. I may do that.

I get confused about what is the most healthy. I love roasted veggies cooked with high heat. Some articles state cooking at a high temp isn’t good. Especially with meat. I like the charred flavor.

I use olive oil, not vegetable oil. Olive oil is suppose to be healthy. It’s the temperature that matters.

Sometimes I will roast a chicken on a high temperature because it is delicious.

No clue the difference. My son did chicken wings in his once. I did not think it was very good.

I love Trader Joe’s but I haven’t tried that, Glad.

We have great local seafood so I go to a seafood market to buy fresh fish.

I don’t have an air fryer either. My daughter loves hers! She cooks lots of different things in it. I’m not even sure how those work. How are they different from a regular oven?
