This is just to say: I have deep-fried a crumpet in bacon grease and I am about to eat it.

I salute you, sir.

This is just to say: no matter how clean I keep things, for some reason there are two ants trying to eat my laptop. Maybe I should make a crumpet deep-fried in bacon grease so that I can feed them the crumbs so that they don't starve. Laptops aren't very nourishing.

Interesting historical note: In puritan New England back in the day, strumpets often received the same treatment.

Oh can I have one? In a stock on the public square?

Deep-fried? That's a lot of bacon grease!

I had cooked a pound of heritage bacon previously and the pan was thick with fat.

(okay not DEEP fried, but deep for a crumpet.)

Deep for a strumpet, as well.

Dude, you got to save that stuff for other uses. Add a tablespoon to a pot of long-simmering beans; add to cornbread batter instead of melted butter; use a little bit to grease the skillet when cooking burgers or pork chops. And so much more!

(i keep meaning to make double-pork fried rice. Fried rice with dork with bacon fat added to the oil. It was a popular sunday staple cause you used up the leftover rice from Saturday's Chinese take-away and the bacon fat from that morning's breakfast)

Fried rice with dork - Ooh, the cholesterol!

I want to go to The Whelk's house for dinner. Or for breakfast. On Bacon Day.

I've never done one of these and it undoubtedly sucks, but here goes anyway:

There once was a strumpet
Who ate a deep fried crumpet
Then went for a stroll in the town square

She was thrown in the stocks
But she was so short she had to stand on a box
Which left her arse in the air

Well, I came here to say that I have swine flu, and I feel a bit queasy at the thought of bacon, but after reading fried rice with dork, I'm getting the heck outta here.
