Thank goodness. Thank goodness.Good, then I can still afford to nail a slab of bacon on the door of the local Jihad Center.
Obama the Muslim has failed to remove pork from the world’s menus.
Maybe so, maybe no. Pork offends the prophet and we all know how this administration feels about offending the prophet. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw regulations in a second Obama term aimed at bankrupting the pork industry. First they came for our coal plants, then they came for our hog farms.
Sadly I am being only a little bit facetious.
Forget the frying pan. Try baking bacon instead.
Line a cookie sheet with either parchment paper or foil. Put the bacon in the oven and turn it on to 400 degrees (don’t pre-heat). Depending on the thickness, bake for 16-20 minutes. Place on paper towels and blot, or in this house, clean Trader Joe’s bags (thanks for double bagging, guys.) I get perfect bacon every time and no spatter burns. I’m so glad I discovered this method! Our family eats a lot more BLTs because of it, too. Also, knowing Muslims hate pork makes me want to eat it all the more.
Maybe not a shortage here, but the price has gone-up since last summer.
$8.79/lb here, now. I stocked-up on 50-lbs of bacon last summer at $3.49/lb.
Somehow, I have the feeling that we haven’t seen it flatten-out, yet.
don’t be too hasty in your relief.
Our ag is under attack from the same socialist planners who are killing Europe.
The same thing can and will happen here as we seem to be powerless to stop socialism.
In addition, when producers here figure out they can make more money exporting to Europe because of the shortage there, the shortages and high prices will find itself a home in American markets.
Since the Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama globalist aristocracy made our country interdependent killing off independence, we have no protection from the ills other countries are enduring.
I think the bacon shortage was based on an expectation that the soybean crop was going to be bad this year, since soybeans are used in pig feed. But I heard on the radio yesterday that thanks to good conditions late in the growing season they’re actually expecting a near record setting crop now.
Bacon - Is there anything it doesn't go well with?
What, no bacon log?
Do I take the word of a flunky of the 0bama administration or the guy from the country that gave us Doctor Who? hmmmmm.
Grab your guns, hand grenades, mortars or other toys and head to Texas... We have 24/7 access to feral hogs...
The same Austin Statesman had an item today about a state sponsored hog hunt where the county that kills the most feral pigs gets a $20,000.00 prize...
“A competition among participating Texas counties to kill the most feral hogs and to educate the most residents about the animals starts Monday, and Hays and Caldwell counties are getting ready.
Both have offered a $2 bounty per feral hog tail to encourage people to participate in the program, a grant competition administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
Counties can collect points during the Hog Out County Grant Program from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31 for the number of feral hogs taken and the number of people who participate in an educational course to learn about the animals.
The county with the most points secures $20,000 in state funds to implement a plan to reduce the feral hog population. The second- and third-place counties earn $15,000 and $10,000, respectively. Other participating counties receive an award based on how many hogs were killed.”
