Make your own, it's a thing of joy


The River Cottage (smoking and curing) book has a simple fridge method


I'm so smitten, im buying a proper slicer an' all that



I've also got a Bacon Cookbook, which tells you how to make 'Buffins' (bacon muffins)


Fekkin joy of joy

Oh GOD RPC, I just looked at that

Otherwise known as one of America's favourite ways to set fire to your house, garden and probably yourself.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say I am thoroughly sick of bacon.


It doesn't cure (ha) everything.

I don't like it in: a bloody mary, a burger, macaroni cheese, cheese on toast, anything with kale.


Much as I enjoy reading fabulous food blogger, Niamh Shields of Eat Like a Girl fame, I switched off during Project Bacon. Bacon jam was the buzzword on twitter a few years ago, drove me nuts.


Cup of Assam or strong builders and a good bacon sandwich has its place though. I miss Homemade on Barry Road for that.


PS: Don't start me on bastard "candied bacon" either. *grumps off*

Numbers, I'm with you on bacon in burgers.


And bacon in Bloody Marys? What sort of total cunt has bacon in a bloody Mary?


Personally a bloody mary would make me hurl anyway, but if I saw someone having one with bacon I really would want to go all Goodfallas on them and start bashing their head against the bar.

OK, avocados, tomatoes and corn, I grant you. And peppers and strawberries, yes. And maybe vanilla. But what else has America ever done for us food-wise?

Not the turkey! At least it's just once a year.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By claresy · Posted

      The receptionist did request a phone call and there was an issue where seeing the symptoms would have been helpful , plus I had questions I wanted to ask - but I just got a text with very generic advice (e.g. if X happens, go to A&E).  You can definitely request routine appointments by phone. Perhaps it's at the doctor's discretion with same day ones.  Having said all that, I think it's a pretty good surgery compared to some.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      I recommend Andy—he was punctual, tidy, resourceful, clear about timing and pricing, and did quality work at relatively short notice. I would use his services again and have already recommended him to friends.

      You can still  request a phone appointment with a doctor, I think, if it's an issue you need to ask questions about? Or, I have had questions quickly answered by a GP  via their online system. Hopefully all this is teething problems, and the staff as well as patients are having to get to grips with a relatively new system. I can fully understand that it is much better all round if GP face to face appointments are saved for things that need a physical examination, and it must mean that patients who do need one  are seen more quickly than under the old system?
