I don't think I can trust a man who doesn't fry his bacon.
HF Secret Santa 2012: SEND GIFT (Deadline: December 7th)

Why should bacon be fried? Seriously, why?I wish there was a button to disagree with the people who disagreed with the last post. Bacon should be fried. No exceptions.
Baking, I don't have to get rid of extra fat while in the middle of the cooking of a pound of pork. Cleanup, I don't have to clean the entire stove top and surrounding cabinetry, only wait for the grease to cool and then lift it all out at one time. I can bake enough bacon for 10 teenage boys in 20 minutes.
The main advantage of baking bacon is very even cooking. You can achieve that frying, of course, but its more fool proof to bake it.
However, frying bacon in its own fat produces a distinctly different result than baking it in free air which allows the fat to drip away. Depending on the stove and pan it can be easy to cook them unevenly, or burn them, so some people choose the safe baking method, but many prefer frying to baking.
Don't forget that you can then crack a few eggs open to fry them in the bacon grease.
Wait, what!? There IS?And, a selection of tidbits from the 2011 secret santa to whet your appetite:
Oh, there's quite enough Calleja to go around
hahaha wow that feels like a lifetime ago, awesome
I got my present today!
First up, some really cool clothes for my new daughter! My mother and I really love the pink striped jump suit. My wife hasn't seen them, but she's going to love the little monkey outfit!
And then there's the icing on the cake! This is the one model that I've been looking to get for my Warhammer 40k army! That was a huge surprise.
Thank you, Azurephoenix (sorry, I don't know how to tag)! You are officially the first person to buy my daughter a Christmas present...even before us.
Merry Christmas!

I'm glad you liked it. I was originally going to make you a bastion (I'm good at scratch building terrain and putting lights and cool crap in it) but I just didn't have the time (you know what having young kids is like). So I dug through my boxes of unpainted warhammer stuff (literally boxes and boxes... I've spent way too much on games workshop over the years) and traded some things for that forgefiend.
Glad you liked the clothes too. I'm used to buying things for boys so this was all new for me.
Merry Christmas! Now go paint that forgefiend!

Yay, it finally came! I was wondering what the hell was up with that. Tracking information just stoppped, UPS stopped showing an estimated delivery date, and I didn't know if it was ever going to arrive.
I hope you enjoy both. Glory Season is one of my favorite novels, and an interesting look at gender relations. I enjoyed Deus Ex: Human Revolution as well, and it really captures the feel of the original much better than Invisible War did. I still need to finish The Missing Link, though.

So I came home yesterday to find a (beautifully-wrapped, once I got it out of the shipping box) package from my Secret Santa, Sparhawk!
I open it up and find a Texas shot glass (Don't mess with Texas!!!)
And a shirt that, strangely enough, I've been eyeing for myself on Woot for a few weeks. Glad I decided to wait until after Christmas to buy it!
The shirt seemed like a great thing to wear tonight as I play Skyrim instead of working on finals:
And what better way to procrastinate than by doing shots of tequila?
Bottoms up!
All gone!
Thanks for the wicked awesome shirt and contributing to my delinquency, Sparhawk! I love it!!!

Gilgamesh, I finally got your gift shipped out. You should get it in about 7 days. I hope you like!
Oh man! And a loophole!
Because Xen sees all Anonymous posters as the same, and consolidates their posts, moderators can only see who made the FIRST in the list.
Everyday is a school day!
ROFLMAOWhat's this? A package that I didn't expect? Could this be...
WHAT'S INSIDE? WHAT'S INSIDE? Let's have a look!
Wut...
JAAAAY! (Or person that stole Jay's idea) You magnificent bastard!
I laughed for a solid five minutes.
I haven't tried them on, but the foot part is pretty small. They might stretch, some socks are like that.
