Don't worry. I told you guys a long time ago that it is all about the
attention she gets from her idiocy.

Somebody said if I cooked the bacon for long enough, I would get a smoky
flavor. I can't remember who said that. And I had no dilemma. I had good
soup. People were making up problems that didn't happen.

No, no one said that. You read two different messages wrong and used
your own interpretation. It was said that if the bacon is cooked
slowly most all of the fat would be rendered away. Actually, you may
have put 3 or 4 messages together.

Dave, I was the first one to see her for who she is and got shouted
down by everyone, including you - so stop your preaching. You're a
typical man who thinks your POV is the only one. Just like nb. He's
always right too.

Odd, then, you just posted yesterday you cooked pork chops. You posted
in reply to Sheldon's assertion no one other than him can buy good pork
chops:

"Damn! I made pork chops last night. Maybe they were fake?"

Who, if anyone in the household, ate these alleged real pork chops?

Bean with bacon soup does require bacon. She said the soup was greasy
even though she trimmed the fat off the bacon. She doesn't understand
if you cook it down the fat renders out. Drain the bacon, pat it dry,
let it sit a bit. Proceed from there. It's pretty simple.

No one is telling her she has to buy smoked bacon. But perhaps in
Bothell there is no such thing as cured but not smoked raw bacon. Do
they sell canned unsmoked bacon? ;)

You said it was greasy. To me that sounds like a problem.

Cooking bacon longer doesn't make it "smoky" unless you burn it to a
crisp. I don't know who this "somebody" is but since you know all about
cooking you should know better.

Well, that's probaby true, because if you cook anything too long it will start to burn, producing smoke flavors! I kinda like when I cook a big pot of brown rice and I let it go a little too lonbg and get some burnt at the bottom! Imparts a nice smoky flavor to the rice!!

Yoder's sells canned bacon. I haven't tried it. Stop looking for problems.

I am starting to think you are all crazy. How long ago did I make this
soup? It's all gone now and it was yummy. I had no problems with it. Oh.
But you want problems so you will make them up.

It's a lot easier and produces a more flavorful soup when the diced
bacon is cooked in the pot to a normal doneness at the beginning and
at some point the fat is skimmed from the surface. Rendering the fat
from frying and then tossing the fat the smokey flavor gets tossed as
well... better to let the smokiness flavor the soup's liquid and then
skim the fat. It's not possible to render out all the fat from frying
anyway lest you burn the bacon, and you'd still need to blot those
bits with paper towels, then you may as well just use Bacon Bits...
more fat can be removed by simmering and skimming, the preparation is
a lot easier, there'll be a smokier flavor, and no burned bacon
flavor. Actually I never use bacon in soups, I can get a good smokey
flavor from smoked ham hocks and also adds gelatin, and I still skim
most of the fat. I think if you're going to use that fried bacon
procedure to acquire smoke flavored soup you'd do better simply adding
Bacon Bits, or better yet a few drops of artificial smoke.

Neither do the people you cook it for...
