Damn... Wtf did you do to piss her off that she boiled the bacon while boiling the eggs?

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 37 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

Energy efficiency. It's no crime to care about global warming 🧐

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago

The methane the pig and chicken made are worse than the gas it would take to cook them.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The amount of energy you (as a consumer) use is nominal in comparison to big corporations; especially the big corporate farms. So you might as well heat up a second pan to make the bacon, because you’re suffering unnecessarily for no gains.

But make no mistake, what I said above is in no way a negative reflection on you or your future wife.

You’re as bad as the chauffeur, who – directly after my wedding ceremony – said β€œYou still have 24 hours to change your mind”. πŸ™„

Are we just ignoring the significant amount of energy it would take to get a pot of water up to a boil?

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In that case I agree, def. a keeper.

I'd assume if you care about global warming you'd also avoid eating meat. Maybe more important for beef than bacon though. Anyway, I interrupted your chewing, please continue!

Are you certain she likes you?

A pig died so that she could boil a part of it into shoe leather. Then you had to eat it. The things we do for sex…

[–] goldemboy@sh.itjust.works 50 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah πŸ™ƒ Keep'er far away from the kitchen.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago

I hope you call your girlfriend BB from now on. Not because it is a bastardization of "Baby" but because it is short for boiled bacon.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My brain is now forever tainted with the idea that you can, and some people do, boil bacon.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

If you put a little water in the pan with cold bacon it will steam for a bit and help render out the fat before it then deep-fries in that fat. To much water and you get whatever this is.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Y'all've seriously never tried grilling your bacon in the oven? The fat just melts off and leaves your bacon perfect. If you like it crispy, just leave it in for a bit longer.

Frying both the egg and bacon would probably use much less energy and be 100 times more tasty than whatever this is.. If I have to boil bacon, I might as well not eat it at all.. πŸ˜…

This gave me a sudden flash of Uncle Roger. If you boil bacon, bacon is fuckt up. Aya!

Fuck off. No English plate has seen bacon and eggs that grim.

What crime did she commit against the Bacon?

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm washing the pot now. It was boiled in the same pot water as the eggs. Saves electricity

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 28 points 2 weeks ago

I just fry my eggs in the bacon grease, same energy, probably not as healthy but it doesn't look like a crime scene either.

[–] Rambomst@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

You're saving 2c and wasting bacon.... If you want to boil everything maybe pick foods that aren't depressing when boiled.

I swear I saw the bacon move.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did she boil the fucking bacon? Is that how it came out that way? I don't know it's weird. I mean hard-boiled eggs just do that sometimes but what the fuck. It's not hard to throw it in a frying pan. My fiance bakes it which is... Fine...

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, all cooked in the same pot at the same time as the eggs :>

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Call ICE on her. If she’s white, tell them she’s irish. They don’t count as white again, so she’ll get sent to Venezuela where she might learn something about cooking. It might be cooking meth, but that’s still preferable to whatever that atrocity in the picture is.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmm, good old weaponized incompetence

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao that's so real, I think she boiled the bacon out of spite.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

"May your bacon always be boiled." is certainly a worthwhile curse.

It looks more pink than red to me.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago

That's grey/gray

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

I'd be grateful to have anyone in my life that would think to cook for me. I'd eat this without complaint and thank them.

Then, I'd offer to teach them to cook. We aren't born knowing how, it's a learned skill.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

We shall cook these items in the light of the sun. -Human girlfriend

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Well, she's definitely not a cooker.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This was not an act of love, but rather the exact opposite

I think you should keep her away from a kitchen

"Hey, why don't I cook next time?"

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

BF/GF2 should raise the bar on her, perfect opportunity to flex.

Bacon should be cooked on a single layer in a pan preheated to medium high (about 2/3rds the dial) and flipped after some of the bacon has begun to shrink. Cover and reduce heat, remove from heat once the sizzling sound becomes quieter. The line between perfect bacon and overcooked perhaps slightly burnt is a number of seconds.

For boiled eggs, heat the water to a Rolling Boil. Very important. Then carefully lower in the eggs with some utensils. Wet yoke but cooked whites is usually achieved after about 3 minutes. Fully cooked after 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse the eggs and set in cold water for at least 2 minutes. The egg shells should be able to peel completely off without missing pieces because we brought to water to boil before adding the eggs.

For toast we're going to use my Honey White Bread recipe, but you'll have to rise it for at least 4 hours so maybe start it the night before.

  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cup water
  • 1/6th cup honey
  • 1.5 teasp Salt
  • 2 teasp Active Yeast (I buy the brown jars, they're more effective than packets because the yeast needs to be alive)
  • 1 tablesp olive oil

Mix by hand, then flatten and roll, then flatten and roll the other direction. Continue kneading until one consistent texture. It should be smooth and have a slight gloss to it. If it's too stratified or loose add small amounts of water, if it's too sticky then add flour. Cover with thin plastic or with a wet cloth, if the cloth sticks then wet it some more and it should let go. Rise for 2 hours, knead it again, then move it to the pan to rise it again for at least 2 and up to 16 hours (the longer you wait the more sour-dough like taste it obtains). Prepare either a breadpan, thin and tall work best, or a flat pan with parchment paper by covering it in solid at room temp coconut oil.

Cooking temp and time can depend on pan choice but a safe bet is 385F for about 30 to 40 minutes. You want to pull it out once as much of the crust as possible has browned. You can optionally apply a beaten mixture of egg and water ("egg wash" they call it) with a brush every 10 to 15 minutes to achieve a soft thin crust, then cover with wet cloth after pulling out. If not using egg wash, finish with a brush of olive oil and a light salting near completion and let cool without covering. Let sit for 20 minutes to cool.

I don't have a recipe for butter but salted butter for a topping or unsalted for baking with.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 12 points 2 weeks ago

Recipe is totally unusable, no preface about a trip to Rome and how you were feeling, nothing.

Just straight up Recipe that's ludicrous
