Forgive me Homer, but I gotta say it... MMMMM BACON! My mother always kept a can for grease and would use some, but often it'd get thrown (horrors!) but fear not, there was an ongoing supply that kept coming through. Occasionally I'll save some bacon grease if I'm planning a use in the next few days. While camping, grease is a great campfire starter. Again, shameful waste! But oh what a fire! And one of my secrets to great coleslaw is pouring a drizzle of the bacon fat over the cabbage. Not so much that it's greasy, but boy does it add flavor. Most people think it just comes from the ample amount of bacon that goes in there (after all, bacon = better, so more bacon = more better) and don't realize there's the extra flavor. Wildchild hit it right. And one has to laugh at the number people who get in their cars to drive to a gym or mall to walk. It speaks volumes. And the difference so often overlooked is while the couch potatoes count carbs and calories, previous generations worked it off in the fields, doing chores or whatever. 5000 calorie diets kept them healthy, and they burned it off without buying a miracle buttmaster from an infomercial. Yeah, getting off topic a bit I know. Back to the topic. I don't have a good cast iron pan to do the bacon grease cornbread. That's the type of cornbread I like.

SO, I suppose We Can't Speak About Tomato Pests and Disease?

I thought tomatoes was always under "G"... not exactly a good idea... now's a good time to get it changed. They should just call the forum Tomatoes. I'd requested "Growing from Seed" be renamed "Seed Starting" instead also for easier sorting.

I have one child who used to really love ketchup... for a snack he would dip potato chips in ketchup, which didn't appeal to me in the least!! quite a few yrs ago, when I saw them for the 1st time, I bought a bag of ketchup flavored chips thinking he would love them-- but he didn't care for them at all!! I haven't seen them being sold for quite awhile now, so I guess others felt the same way about them!! they were very short lived- locally, at least! I had a friend who loved the utz dark... I like them too for a thin pretzel and buy them occasionally, but i prefer the big snyders sourdough.... I actually don't buy pretzels too often anymore, but used to buy them regularly and loved them with either diet coke or lemonade! I always preferred pretzels over potato chips...

I just spent an hour with a PITA client who insisted on relaying TMI about his kidney problems and bleeding rectum. I wanted to rip my ears off and now I've got a splitting headache. Happy Friday. UGH

Fighting a pinched nerve in my shoulder. Just had the tens unit on it for about 4 hours. Pain is not good as I can only take tylenol.

Started with a nice rain this morning. Did some grocery shopping, ate lunch and took a nap. Sure have been a slug today.

How was your day OAH? And not to worry about that thread killer title...I can challenge you for that position. lol

BTW, my son and his family moved to Woodstock, GA; are you familiar with that part of the state? They are loving it there after living in the Phoenix area for so long.

Hi granlan, it's wonderful to see you! Woodstock is a very nice (my opinion) suburb of Atlanta. It's far enough up I-575 to maintain a rural flavor while metropolitan enough for all of the usual stores etc... It is a bit like having your cake and eating it too!

Always good to see one of the Texas Trinity. ;)
