I don't agree...

When we used to go camping in Colorado, the first thing mom did when she
got up in the morning was to toss a baited line in the river for trout,
then get breakfast started starting with BACON in the Cast iron skillet
over the campfire. :-)

While that was cooking, she'd check the line periodically and pull in
fresh live rainbow trout.

Once the bacon was done, she would then grease baste a few eggs, then
clean the trout and deep fry them in that bacon fat.

<sigh>

Incredible food, incredible memories.

Bacon fat fried trout and eggs (with PERKED coffee) in the middle of the
Colorado boonies under pine trees.

Thanks for the reminder guys! ;-d

I still miss mom.

(Bacon grease fried fresh tree squirrel is pretty good too, as is fresh
killed cottontail bunny. Dad used to hunt quite a bit when we went
boondock camping.)
