The whole "you do you" or "be the best you" has gotten me irritated at this point

you do you

That's what I tell people who are effing something up and not listening to people who could help.

I turn on the TV for football. . . sigh. . . I mean, f-ck almighty guys, come on man, put on a suit that fits FFS! Seriously, grown azz men in boys suits size 10 with tennis shoes. Am I the only guy left on the planet that DOESN'T want to look like Pee Wee Herman?

"Would you like to round up for the Hawaii community fund to help the wildfire victims?"

No. I don't want to give to a worthless mega charity that is going to put victims through the ringer and then allow your store to say you donated a large sum of money.

"No thanks, but feel free to donate any percentage you want of the money you're already charging. "

Fox College Football score bug.
Why can't they figure out we just need score, time left, down and distance, timeout dots...we don't need huge logos and graphics.

 

[Sullie]

I think I understand why college football has "sped up" the game. More time for commercials, less time for football so we're getting closer and closer to the "true" NFL experience. Ah well.

oven bacon ftw

That's actually what I am talking about. She puts foil down on a baking pan. Makes it into it's own little pan, puts bacon on it, puts it in the oven. The exposed part of the pan gets coated in bacon grease.

When I make bacon I either use the smaller pan or I use the larger roll of foil. Bacon done, let grease cool, fold up foil, throw in trash, put pan away, done.

But that foil is more expensive. So we save money on foil, but waste water and time when my wife does it.

ah. i fully coat the pan with foil. fold up the edges, etc. so nothing spills on to the pan proper.

You're all wrong. If you're not pan cooking your bacon, dont even bother.

What's Normal - How do you cook your bacon?

Oven is the way to go

 

[Osaurus]

In the oven on parchment paper. I drain the fat into a jar. Turns out great every time.

I was into grilling bacon until one day there was a tragedy and all of my bacon went up in smoke.

I've done this a couple times, still leaves an awful mess in the bottom you gotta deal with.

Seems to taste better out of the pan

aluminum foil below the bacon

 

[Dr_Zaius]

Oven bacon is definitely better than the abomination that is microwave bacon, but pan fried is still the most delicious in my opinion.

It has to be properly pan fried, though - you can easily ruin it by turning up the heat such that you're trying to melt the damn pan. Not only does that lead to grease being shot everywhere during cooking, but you end up with different sections of the bacon over and under cooked.

I mean like various addresses. My favorite is when they deliver to the wrong address and snap a photo that has a boulder with an address number on it that isn't mine.

We're having that problem with USPS. We even have a mail buddy with the same house number on a different street. Fortunately, they are nice people.

And can we stop calling anything at all a "teachable moment"? Ugh.

This is definitely a teachable moment.

Oven bacon people, is there any splatter that one has to clean off the oven walls?

 

[MTskibum]

I have 3 developers on my team and and all have worked for the company between 10-25 years. I just had one put in their two weeks notice. Good for him, bad for me

 

[Drunken knight]

just have to be careful with the grease on the tray taking it out of the oven.

fwiw... parchment, on sheet trays is the way to go when doing breakfast events, or doing mass quantities. I did the cooling rack when i used it as garnish. it holds it's shape better

Sports highlights should include the players shaking hands or whatever at the end of the game/match/etc. I enjoy seeing how players react to a win or loss yet they rarely show this

 

[parasaurolophus]

Oven bacon people, is there any splatter that one has to clean off the oven walls?

I use a monstrous pan and put it in the middle. When I use the smaller pan it is only for a few pieces if my wife just wants a BLT or something.

The one time a made a huge batch grease was everywhere and the pan "popped" too. Which made it even worse.

Otherwise I haven't had to clean up.

 

[supermike80]

So now..and this is a BIG ONE....Shake and bake no longer comes with the little plastic bags to shake the chops or whatever in. Just the bags of dust. That's false advertising! Should be called just....bake

no.

but you want to pour off the grease a couple of times during the bake

you're removing the sheet and pouring off hot grease? where's the bacon during the pour off

yes, removing the sheet pan and pour off the grease into big ceramic mug

the bacon typically sticks to the foil and I don't have to tip the sheet pan much to get most of the grease to pour off

if they start to slide I just don't try to pour any more of the grease off at that point

 

[Dezbelief]

I leave the grease in the cookie sheet until the bacon is done. I flip the bacon once and if the oven has warm/cold spots I will rearrange the bacon.

Unnecessarily loud people. I'm probably being passive-aggressive here, but the IT guy that sits in the cube behind me is SO EFFING LOUD when he is on Teams calls with co-workers. I don't think he realizes how loud he is, especially his booming laugh, because he wears big over-the-ear headphones for the call. I mean, the laugh can be heard down the hall. It's ridiculous. I COULD say something to HR or my boss or someone, but it would be pretty obvious who complained. I put one earbud in with music to try and balance it out, but the 4-5 times a day he's on a call is just unbearable.
