Mix a little Garlic Powder in the flour for a different flavor. Can also add brown sugar blended into powdered texture into the coating flour for a sweet crunch. Ginger. Onion Powder.
Joe Aconite๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐บ๐ (@joeaconite.com)
Lightly coat your bacon strips with flour on both sides. Shake off excess. Place on cookie sheet with parch paper. Into oven not preheated but from the preheat to 400F. When the oven reaches 400 with bacon in set timer for 15 minutes. Bacon will come out crispy, straight and with a nice mouth feel.

Stephen King once made a point when recalling "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that as you read the story YOU know there is something wrong, even as the story makes the characters seem crazy or unsympathetic to the protagonist. Because you read the book title even before starting. YOU know whats up.

Feels like they want to make "Outsiders" like the bullied. Bullied by those artists and writers and musicians! Think of the cases where they want to create but not work! Why not they?!
Joe Aconite๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐บ๐ (@joeaconite.com) reply parent
An artist wakes up wanting to do the art. They love it. They want to do it over & over again, getting better at it. If they have talent, getting better happens faster, but the work put in either way means they cared about the art. They think about it even when not doing it. It is part of their soul.
Joe Aconite๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐บ๐ (@joeaconite.com) reply parent
Just reading the title is enough to let you know exactly what it's doing. It's grandizing/normalizing these people. Making excuses. But shows both sides, so you understand it's "fair & bananced." Yet still displaying how much of a success these people are making with their slop.

โOutsidersโ already had a shot at stardom. It was called talent. Having something to say. As someone whose favorite band as a teenager was Nirvana, Iโm pretty annoyed by this. Not having any talent isnโt being an โoutsider.โ

The people who like these AI creations really need a test of their own tastes in music or art. Just liking the vibe of something is like being fine eating slop instead of looking for a real meal. Even fast food(corporate pop) is better than the slop.

A breakfast version, use an egg dip on the bread slices, cooking them individually as you do a French Toast. Then assemble cooked bacon and cheese sandwich. Give it one more pan sear to melt cheese. Will cook fast. Pair with a sliced tomato.
Joe Aconite๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐บ๐ (@joeaconite.com) reply parent
For a dessert version, use cream cheese. Cooking until the toast is mainly done. The cream cheese is already melted. Sprinkle with powdered sugar after plating. Pair with a non citrus fruit.
Joe Aconite๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐บ๐ (@joeaconite.com) reply parent
Always cut it diagonally. This allows points of toast for soup dipping. The first kiss of the pan will stick unless you give it a second or so to sear release the side. I use cast iron pans. Non-stick, less worry. When a side is done, flip & peek until that side is right. A little burn is tasty.
Joe Aconite๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐บ๐ (@joeaconite.com)
When making a Grilled Cheese: Use Mayo instead of butter on the bread. Slather each piece of bread outside and in with mayo. Use American cheese. It's made to melt. Turn that heat up medium high. Keep flipping til you get the sides done as wanted. Pair with a pickle. The brine compliments a griller.

The well-known phrase "truth, justice and the American way" was first used in the intro to Superman's radio show on August 31, 1942. (Superman had been on the radio since February 1940, but introductions in previous episodes only mentioned Supes fighting for "truth and justice." Ah, mission creep.)
