I like bacon. Moderation, right?! I'll often cook up a package, and have a couple pieces on my bagel in the morning over the week. Cream cheese and strawberry jam, too!
You can bake it, or broil it. This is the way my mom cooked it: broiling, except closer to the broiler.
Noticing that I went to a local store's webpage.
I like to do cook my bacon with a little electric pan I bought at an online auction! I love this. I pack the cooked bacon in a container and pluck them out in the morning.
What I noticed is that it took me far less to cook it all. I went on line to look it up. They are about the same price, but one has 500g in it! My package has 375 g in it. I didn't remember, but this began in 2014 when there was a pork virus.
Bacon packages shrink as pork prices soar
2014–Packages of bacon at stores such as Cantor's Meats in Winnipeg have slimmed down from 500 grams to 375 grams in recent months, in an attempt to limit price sticker shock.
I know, first world problems!
🐸I am excited, as I won a draw. We were out and about doing the Western Chorus Frog survey in April of this year after a break. They had a draw for swag, and I was the winner.
After heat and drought, Cinnamon brought me a tick on Wednesday. They seemed to have died down. It was a nymph, really teeny. Such is rural life. We stuck it in the tick jar, with some rubbing alcohol.
It's not been too bad for ticks. Ticks will be around until frost.
🚲P.S. Our cyclist friend, Rick, has made it a long way. Bow, N.H., with some more to go! You can follow him on Facebook. Or read about his adventure here in Lanark County!
P.P.S. miniFred has settled into a routine. She shows no signs of moving out. Unlike mother, Fred.
She get up around noon, and seems to wait until things warm up from our cool nights.

...my Sweetie does bacon in the oven on parchment paper, the clean up is a breeze!
Love your official frog cap! Ribbit! Linda in Kansas
My three trail cameras are so quiet. I have a single raccoon and a collection of chipmunks hoovering up the apple peels I throw out to the pit, but that's it. There has been a bear about, but I haven't managed to catch it yet. The turkeys move through the front yard every morning. They are so routine that they don't get us to excited anymore.
Bacon isn't the only thing that's being packaged in smaller containers now.
W whenever I get the urge for bacon, I buy the 12 ounce package and a microwave two pieces at a time between paper towels. I haven’t tried to cut out salt seriously, but it is something that I reduced lately. we have been below 50 at one point while I’ve been away from my apartment, but I’m not too worried about frost yet. It’s reportedly wonderful out, but I’m stuck in my Hospital cave and yearning for fresh air.
I have noticed for a while now how packages are shrinking and yet those prices don’t. That’s great you won the swag bag :) Good to see Fred. Good idea to keep the tick count. Yucky things :0 Good to see what’s going on at Crumbly Acres. Hope the rest of your week is a good one.
I buy bacon at the butcher shop that way I can see the slab before they slice it off! $7.99 a pound here and it is great double smoked bacon that doesn't all fry away:)

Shrinkflation is an issue not just with bacon, I can assure you! I got a jolt last week when the potato chips I had been buying so happily for years sudden seemed to not have the same amount in them ... sure enough, on checking, the weight had been reduced by 25gms... yet the same size packet. Blarrccchh!! Chocolate, bread... it's happening on just about everything. YAM xx
I am very aware of the two sizes, but at current prices, my consumption will be even more limited. I will have to cook some soon to go into the potato soup that will be making. Soon, but I am not sure how soon.
Oh gosh! We're having heat and drought now and would love some winter coolness here in Hawaii. We've had too many brush fires.
Our problem here are kids on e-bikes and doing wheelies on the road. There have been too many casualties here.
Hello,
I like bacon but I rarely fix it at home.
Take care, have a great day!
