Is Your Desire For Bacon As Powerful As Your Past Desire To Smoke?

sometimes you gotta have it!

I buy my favorite brand and freeze it because bacon is one of those rare treats that I don't eat very often.

This is one of a few recipes my parents taught us. It was one of a few things we made them for breakfast every Sunday morning. (They taught us to make french toast with homemade maple syrup and hash and eggs too)

 

Bacon Eggs And Rice

Cook your bacon slowly in a large 12" x 2 " frying pan with a lid.

I don't like it super crispy (what's with bacon the powder from overcooking?)

When it's just before how you like it, tong it out and put on paper towels.

Pour the majority of the grease out and save for future flavoring.

Leave the drippings and 3 tablespoons of the grease in the pan and add enough water and rice to make 8 cups of cooked rice.

Crack 10-12 eggs into the rice after its nearly cooked and stir until the eggs are cooked.

Add your reserved bacon back into the egg and rice and serve. (I save about 1/2 the bacon for other things like green beans)

Salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy But This Stuff Is Addictive!

Limit yourself to two plates. LOLOL

(I made the eggs and rice and used some of the leftover bacon renderings this morning to flavor it)

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
