We woke up yesterday with 4.4 inches of rain overnight and some major flooding in town along the Auglaize River that runs through the middle of Wapakoneta. I think about the worst I have seen in 40 years. Then woke this morning with more rain we do not need!
Yesterday I wanted to fry some Jowl Bacon in my new DeBuyer 10 in. skillet but it did not get here in time to use. I did the bacon on my Traeger which is my favorite way for making sandwiches; it’s not quite as greasy and no pan to clean. I like using a skillet for breakfast so I have the bacon grease to fry eggs or mush in.
I get the jowl bacon from my butcher Kah Meats. I almost like the jowl bacon better than side meat bacon and after looking at the price I better start using it more often. It is just $2.75 versus $4+ a pound. I toasted some Kings Hawaiian buns and had some mustard and mayo on my sandwich. For my sides I had a pickled egg and a slice on onion and tomato. I think my wife just had chips with hers.
The eggs I put in left over Claussen pickle juice and eat after 3 to 4 days in the fridge; I can get 5 medium eggs in the jar. That hit the spot; I love my BLT’s!
