This is going to be triggery on a multitude of levels. Brace yourself before reading.

Today I was in Boston, and when I was growing up I was taught about the dangers of the city, the bad people who live there, and how to stay safe from them. Today I forgot all of that and paid the price.

It started out simply enough, I was walking around downtown enjoying the fresh air and sunshine and built up quite an appetite. Before I knew it I was standing in front of a food truck, one of those overgrown ice cream trucks with the big vent on the roof. It was painted pink (I should have known something was wrong). It was a Bacon Truck, covered in drawings of bacon engaged in whimsical activities, and the air was an intoxicating blanket of porky goodness.

The back door of the truck was open and one of the employees said "Bacon, little girl?" and I said "Yes!" and got right in. I forgot everything Momma ever told me. I got my bacon, but they had their way with me....I'm going back tomorrow.  :laugh:

You better be running away Devyln  >:-)

I usually aim for cage-free tofu.  But now ya gots me wonderin. 

Sounds like pork-barrelin' to me!

I might give her both barrels if I catch up with her.... she's fast

Hmmmmmm, my mother never told me this. This is new to me. I love the cities, but yes I am cautious and watch my surroundings while in big cities. I love going to them because they are so full of life and party per say. Yum, bacon is the best but, creep! Run away like they said above.

I am not sure I understand this thread. As you all know, I have a reputation for being terribly naive. Is 'bacon' a euphemism here? I mean it wasn't a sausage truck. And Boston is known for its 'beans' so I must admit to being a little lost. Gosh Devlyn, can't ya just give us dumb girls a hint here?
Moni
My favorite euphemism is, "I have squirrels in my garage!" No one will tell me what that means either.

Maybe it's in the phrasebook: "My hovercraft is full of eels."

Thanks Minnie. I'm embarrassed to admit I'm in left field on this one, too. Maybe I have bats in my belfry.

Ha! I thought I typed Moni but it came out Minnie. I'm leaving it. [emoji13]

Oh Lord, she's going to be the next one in the trap. :icon_no:

I'm starting to think it's more humane to just let Laurie hunt us.  :laugh:

I'm lost for words,  except mmmmmm bacon.

Yeah  but you ain't showing the inside are ya. We're on to you.

Moni

Suddenly everything I read on here sounds like a euphemism. It's like I have puffins in my luggage. Somebody talk me down!

Okay Devyln,

  How much did they get from you? I'm pretty sure the cost was both in cash and calories.

Thought you might appreciate my bacon stash. The bottom one is a 3 pound package divided into daily use stacks of 5 rashers each. It shows the fate of the other two when I get around to it. I just bought them yesterday.

Holy porkfat, Batman! Do you happen to own a pink ice cream truck too?  ;D

I got the Classic BLT, $8.50 and no one there was talking calories, trust me! For three bucks
you can get a Bunch o' Bacon which is several strips in a wax paper bag. The couple behind me had
a big Akita and he got one of those. Happy dog!

Hugs, Devlyn

yep they had their way with you.  I got each of the 3lb slabs on sale for $10 each. and it is thick sliced which makes them better. the one on the right is peppered bacon.

Laurie, you do it the hard way, I take a package of bacon and bake it on cookie sheets. I can then role it in single serving size stacks in a single sheet of plastic wrap and freeze it. When I want bacon, I take a couple of slices out, wrap them in a paper towel and nuke for 15-20 seconds. Much faster and a lot less mess than cooking from scratch each time. Oh and the left over bacon grease, I save it in the refrigerator for frying.

I prefer the aroma of freshly frying bacon while getting the rest of the meal prepped. I've never cooked bacon in the oven and don't plan to start. And yes the bacon grease is preserved for later use.

You ladies are making me hungry.....And I ate 9 slices of bacon for breakfast, had bacon in my soup at lunch, and had bacon on my ham hoagie for supper.

I blew my diet today.

  Not a rasher on my menu today Artesia. I am going to attempt pork fried rice and sweet & sour pork from scratch tonight though. Wish me luck.

Let us know how that sweet and sour sauce from scratch comes out.  I've never succeeded in making it.

Hi Artesia,
 
  Thank you. The luck you wished me must have worked because dinner was simply delicious even if it took a lot of work. The sweet & sour sauce was easy and came out very good. Even my sister gave me compliments.

  I posted  dinner in the cooking section at the following link.

Hugs,
   Laurie
