At the beginning of every week, I take a peek into my fridge and make a mental note of all the "must eat soon" foods, and try to plan my meals accordingly. This week on the list is a pack of bacon we bought this weekend and didn't finish. Unfortunately I don't know a lot of bacon dinner meals, so I had to figure something out. Yesterday I defrosted a steak, but I didn't wind up eating it, so I figured that should probably work. You can put steak with bacon right? (Like a cheap knock off of a filet mignon?) So I fried up the bacon (my vegetarian roommate was amazed at how much fat comes out of bacon considering no oil was added), and threw in the steak and some Montreal steak spice. Yup, I fried the steak in bacon fat. =D I also made some pasta which I decided to fry as well (my mom used to fry pasta in butter to make it crunchy) .... so the pasta went in with the remaining bacon fat and steak juice. I know, it's pretty gross, but LOOK how many uses I got out of the bacon!! I also used the same water for pasta cooking and broccoli boiling... so all this came from 1 pot and 1 pan. I know frying with bacon fat and steak juice may sound disgusting, but I totally have no regrets. This tastes awesome. Also, check out how pretty pictures are on my new camera!!
So to summarize,
Efficiency = reusable bacon fat and boiling water
Gluttony= having all your food covered in bacon fat
Pure satisfaction = eating this meal
Hopefully the elliptical will take care of the rest...
