Bacon. Not feeling the love.
 

We've had bacon for breakfast the past two days and I have come to the sad realization that bacon gives me serious heartburn.

My stone is bummed.

I had the same sad realization about Cheez-its. :(

bummer.

Well, I've had time to deal with it. I learned of this disorder a couple years ago. Sure I cried. Sure, I was angry. But you must believe that over time these wounds, while never disappearing, will surely fade.

It's still so fresh to you. There's GOT to be a morning after...sans bacon.

IT BURNSSSSSS!

Somehow it's in the numbers... the higher numbers are always more risky than 1st.

For me, the 4th pot of coffee in the day is often gastroigneous.
I don't understand it because I use the same coffee beans, filters, water, pot, cup,
and the electricity comes from the same dam on the Columbia River all day long.
The water is not pasteurized, the filters are tan, not bleached ...so they shouldn't be the culprits.

I have noticed that the sun is in a different place...
maybe it is shinning on the pot at a different angle as it perks.
Any other ideas ?

Awww Poor feetz !!!

What about pork belly? It's like bacon, but not baconized. We had some last night for dinner.

And the first three pots are just fine?

Anybody else either impressed or scared by the volume?

I surprised myself last night.

I squandered an opportunity, but even I was intimidated by what I am about to describe.

I was out to eat after a long stretch of funerary duties. I had some completely awesome bourbon barrel stout. But I had a bit of trouble deciding what I want to eat. I'm a terrible person to eat with because of this, usually the waitress has to come back twice, and finally I just tell everyone else to order because that will pressure me into a decision.

But I figured things out right quick yesterday.

I had a meatloaf pannini, which is meatloaf, cheese, garlic massed potatoes, and bacon on flatbread, served with homemade potato chips. But that's not the important part of the story.

I had this wonderful thing in lieu of The Turtle Burger.

It was cute. It's shaped like a turtle. How do you make a burger shaped like a turtle? First, you don't kill any turtles. It said so on the menu. Then you take six ounces of ground beef. You surround that in cheese. Then you make a lattice out of ... bacon. 10 slices of thick bacon. Oh, and because it's still not really looking like a turtle, you arrange three hot dogs to make the legs and head. And serve it all on a LeBus roll.

There may have been some mashed potatoes involved too. I forget. Call that traumatic forgetting. I was totally overwhelmed by the description.

It's called a Turtle Burger because they couldn't agree how to spell Myocardial Infarction On A Plate.

Foot, have you tried turkey bacon?
I'm not recommending it, it's just a question I ask people from time to time.

MORE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!

IF I get my fourth CUP of coffee in a day I think I've had way too much.

Four POTS? You've got to be kidding me!

I'd never sleep.

Oh and foot?

I'm not sorry about ur bacon.

It's no good for you anyway. ;)

Actually foot, have to tried bacon that's organically cured without the salt peter? It could be the chemicals rather then the bacon, although I suspect it'd be the high salt content either way.

It could also be the fat. Maybe if you really love bacon, just eat the round end and forget the fatty end. :)

Well, I have to admit we have 2 other adults in the house... but yes, we do make 4 pots a day.

Yes. One is too many, ten's not enough.

*deep bow*

Foot and infi, there's a reason they make Tums a pepcid and all those things. enjoy your food and take your medicine.

Please tell me where. I gotsta know, I gotsta know!

The solution? Moar bacon! "Hair of the hog", and so on.

Maybe you need to switch bacon.

Kosher beef bacon - aka beef fry. I used to have this growing up, but have not had some in decades.

Turkey bacon - Shoprite carries the widest selection, from generic chopped and pressed to Godshall's Turkey bacon which is thick cut and probably better than pork bacon. I think they also carry duck bacon and turkey scrapple.


Here's an article with alternatives.

Duck bacon may actually be good, duck haz the aorta grease.

Turkey bacon = :vomit:

The Blue Dog Pub, Lansdale.


Amazing beer availability that only keeps getting better and more interesting. The Turtle Burger is a special, not a regular menu item. Don't know how long it will be available. However, I can tell you that they've had the meatloaf pannini as a special since December, so the turtle could have some surprising staying power.

Lamp, caffeine is a bowel irritant. It's no wonder enough coffee kicks back on you; it does me too.

Man...I have like 4 mugs of coffee just to start my day...

Just one for me, occasionally I have two, but usually I don't have any more for the rest of the day.

Well, hopefully you are at least following the strict Martini and cigarette protocol designed to reduce birth weight and thus, make delivery easier.

haha...nope. None of mine have been very large so far anyway. Just average. 8 pound 1 oz was the largest. The other two were 7 pound 4. :)

My first thought was the nitrites in the bacon is causing you tummy issues. Do you have trouble with lunch meats or ham?

You might want to try turkey bacon, Applegate makes a good one. It's not the same as pork bacon, but it does grow on you. We have been eating it for 2 years now and prefer it over anything else, even pork bacon.

Oh and I usually don't drink coffee by the cup, much too small!! :blush: I use huge mugs, carafes, or thermos's (that tense looks weird) to carry my caffeinated beverage around. 1 full pot a day for just me, or I feel deprived.

nahh, it's not the nitrates, I think it is just too rich.

Maybe you could go to MalWart and get some poor bacon.

While at least that's a rightful use of the apostrophe, just go ahead and say Thermoses. That's even better.

Its Thermi. On a treadmill.
