Dakinate your Bacon, (Yet again another Sunday breakfast!)

OMG! David

Your're an Edsel owner??
I had a 1958 Corsair in HS! Gwendolyn the wonder Edsel!
Still have the "horse collar"!

What color?

 

[appnut]

Yep Jon, the company was founded right here in the 1950s.

Well, my Edsel Corsair is a basket case and might end up in the salvage yard. It was originally black and white with a black and gold interior, factory air conditioning. It needs everything and it is kinda hard to justify the expense on a four door car - it would cost more to restore than it is worth.

So, Jon, your hashbrowns are essentially a raw potato "sliced" into ribbon thin slices with a carrrot peeler (as thick as one can get a peeler to "peel") and fried in coconut oil?

 

[mixfinder]

Oh, don't make me beg

Can't we have a pictoral tour of your kitchen and maybe even glimpses of the collections of gadgets and appliances? Huh? Please?

 

[perc-o-prince]

Jon- looks yummy! I just have to keep repeating to myself, though, whenever you show a shot of the stove...

"Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's griddle!"

BTW- is that a Demoula's sticker on that bacon?

[jetcone]

Yes Chuck

I shop at Market Basket whenever the day is long! You can't beat MB!

 

[tlee618]

Sounds like a great plan to me Jon!!

Please explain to me how that butter preserver works, does the butter always stay soft and spreadable. Greg, why don't you have one of these??

 

[petek]

Bacon is one of those foods that a I like but only if someone else makes it and it has to be fairly crisp. If I make it it just isn't the same.. why is that. Mainly I have it for breakfast at a Dennys or similar or in a toasted BLT. The hashbrowns I can eat pounds of , must look for some of that cocoanut oil

 

[perc-o-prince]

You can't beat MB!

Well,

Some people are lucky enough to have Price Rite nearby (Ron, the Worcester contingency, et cetera), and they're even more budget friendly. Ron shops there quite often, and says the produce is of excellent quality. I wish they'd either come to this area, or that MB would open one closer (nearest one is about 20 minutes away!).

You can get coconut oil at health food stores, whole foods etc. I order it on line http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/ They have all sorts of goodies made with the oils as well as pure oil for cooking etc. Jon your breakfast looks great. I will try the bacon with the syrup. My wife brought some back from her train trip with her mom this past summer. They went back to the old family farm that was owned by her great grandparents in Maine. A nice older couple owns it now. They learned about tapping the trees for the syrup. They had agreat time. The farm is on the Hancock lake. Dano

 

[jetcone]

Dano let us know what you think

homemade syrup is sooo good!
Terry the butter pre-server keeps a stick fresh and slices it off into pats when you open it up. So it does both, hence pre-server!!

Yes Greg why don't you have one of these??

 

[gansky1]

Those potatoes look delicious! You know you're always welcome here anytime you want - but you have to fry on the GE Induction in the garage...

This has been a fattening week on AW! Pies, cake, cookies, two brunches. I have a waistline AND a butter pre-server. Which came first? I'm gonna have to start smoking again just to resist!

MMMMMMMM. Marlboro.

 

[tlee618]

Greg, you are so funny!! Jon thanks for explaining the butter pre-server. Does it some how keep the butter soft as well? We have to get that out next time and try it out Greg!

 

[mattl]

Plumrose Bacon..

Plumrose is one of my favorite too, though I put the maple syrup on after I cook it. I'll have to try it your way.

I was trying to make out he price on the package - is it $2.99? I hope not $7.99... Usually goes for $2-2.50 around here on sale.

My mom did a very similar potato side dish.. Grated into very thin slices and cooked well-done in corn or vegetable oil. One of the keys is to use a cast iron skillet with plenty of oil. The iron imparts an amazing flavor to the oil (and then to the potatoes) that you can't get any other way.

It's a real heart-stresser though. The potatoes absorb a lot of fat, so people with heart problems should steer clear.

 

[toggleswitch2]

I saw that price too, it's probably $7.99 per kilo UNIT pricing, which is $3.63 per pound. Does that price make sense?

Or perhaps meat is department 799.

 

[frigilux]

Damn it, Jon Charles!! Every time you flash a pic of that beefy restaurant range, I go into severe griddle-envy, LOL! What an awesome feature.

 

[jetcone]

Yes I oaid $2.66 for the package

that $7.99 is some bulk price like half a pig or something.
Glad you like the range griddle it is so easy to cook on.
