It's helped by the fact that my husband cannot cook less than the whole pound, so we usually have a few strips cooked and frozen and ready to be whacked up into bits for this or that...Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847911008685707977.post-37706050110100394822009-11-21T13:08:17.002+01:002009-11-21T13:08:17.002+01:00You've already had lunch?

It makes everything so easy. I'm SO glad that the smell came off the page.<br /><br />Polly - I want to know more about Khmer food. Sounds fascinating. Guest post, maybe?<br /><br />Kristina - I've been making this pasta since I was in college. It always satisfies . . . and I don't see why you couldn't eat it in the morning. When you think of it, it's not so different from bacon and eggs!<br /><br />Bonnie - We eat 70% veggie, I would say. I only make a meat-based dish once or twice a week. I've tried to be hard-core, but I'm such an omnivore; it just doesn't work for me.<br /><br />Nimble - I wonder if your mom has ever made a warm "dressing" in this way. It is so easy, but it makes the salad taste MUCH more delicious. <br /><br />As for butter, sigh. The teenager has never really cared for dairy products, actually, but her attitudes have hardened over the years. She makes only two exceptions: melted cheese bagels and pizza.<br /><br />Rachel - My daughter was, for all practical purpose, a vegan -- since she won't eat dairy (see above). It was VERY tedious. I'm so glad that she has set those notions aside.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847911008685707977.post-35071114033112378492009-11-21T00:10:20.886+01:002009-11-21T00:10:20.886+01:00Ah, the teenage vegetarian flexing his/her muscles...Ah, the teenage vegetarian flexing his/her muscles... I remember it well. The Lovely Son couldn't compete with his vegetarian stepdad, so became a vegan instead. And that's when I called time, bought him a book of vegan recipes, for dishes that seemed mostly to be beige, and went on strike. After thinking about it, he gave up too, and returned to bacon sandwiches.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847911008685707977.post-79290064925372359962009-11-20T23:12:11.819+01:002009-11-20T23:12:11.819+01:00I suppose it's inevitable that you would have ...I suppose it's inevitable that you would have a child who doesn't want any butter. Surely she will grow out of it. Your carbonara sounds really good and speedy. <br /><br />I recently cooked bacon to eat with brussel sprouts. But I overcooked my frozen brussel sprouts so they got mushy. Still tasted all right. I'll have to try try again. <br /><br />Your spinach salad makes me think of my mother. She loves spinach salad with bacon and mushrooms.Nimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426446791363667887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847911008685707977.post-44044815033066097372009-11-20T18:23:19.867+01:002009-11-20T18:23:19.867+01:00Yes!

Bacon/pancetta is one of those things that I don't buy particularly often, but when I have it on hand, I remember that it makes many dishes even better than they already are. Like you, I often use it as an accent, rather than serving a larger piece of meat. <br /><br />Both of your quick pancetta dishes sound (and look!) delicious. I might try your spinach salad tonight--I could use a bit more greenery in tonight's dinner, and a salad with those notes sounds perfect for what will hopefully be a rainy evening.<br /><br />By the way, I'm one of those erstwhile vegetarians who were brought back to being omnivores by cured pork. I missed meat in general, but bacon really got me.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338782102030629262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847911008685707977.post-76540988109661061962009-11-20T15:25:05.742+01:002009-11-20T15:25:05.742+01:00Yum!!

We have tried to limit all dairy, but I do use some milk (no cream) and a bit of butter in the occasional sauce. But bacon or pancetta in a baby spinach salad would be the most wonderful treat.<br /><br />All that said - the benefits outweigh my longings and I am happy to not be eating animal proteins.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847911008685707977.post-39118626644927639332009-11-20T14:58:38.953+01:002009-11-20T14:58:38.953+01:00Oh that pasta looks so delicious!
