Always Cook Extra Bacon, Recipes Be Damned

It is impossible to cook bacon with out stealing a strip, a lardon, or a bit during the process. I wouldn’t even call it stealing; as the person doing the cooking, it’s your right to enjoy a little bacon bonus, as a treat for your hard work. Trouble arises, however, if you eat a large (or even small) portion of the bacon that was meant to be used in a recipe.
