Food

Dinner today is kidney beans in a chilli sauce straight from the can, and seeing as I considered that to be cheating, I decided to add bacon.
Mental notes for future cooking:
Frying bacon does not involve or need to involve any oil.
Pouring cold water on a hot, oily frying pan is a good way to get a Darwin award. One way or another.
Despite these setbacks and my admittedly rather paranoid worry about the sate of the bacon (it's in it's sell by date and has been kept unopened in the fridge, stop worrying), this is actually rather good :)

Bacon is the only food I know reasonably well what to do with. And it makes everything better. It's the monkeys, ninjas and pirates of the food world combined.

Also, you must have crazily greasy bacon! I always have to add oil!

Did it go up in flames or just sizzle a lot? ";-]

(Also, *hugs* for the thing with your dad. That's got to hurt! *wants to kick him*)

And it makes everything better.

Except sardina or tuna fish sandwiches, that is. Believe me, I tried.

The oil gave the bacon an odd taste, at least I hope it was the oil.
The pan spat at my like an angry lama, only worse because lama spit tends not to be boiling hot oil. :(

Dad thing is fail. Spent the last hour talking to my aunt about it. Feeling a bit more philosphical now.

Things can always be worse.

Live and learn ;) I'm now going to cook more or less exactly the same thing.
