RE: Why did YOU join Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

The reason I joined was this guy on youtube named Gregory Mannarnio, a stock market trader said he was also posting on Steemit. He said that even if you don't want to blog you can make cryptocurrency by just commenting. So I came her this month. I just kept reading other blogs and commenting. It is kind of exciting to see some money for that. I made $2.52 from a comment about cooking bacon. I mentioned how I like to bake the bacon cause I don't want to flip it. I am very happy to see that $2.52. Of course most comments get $0.00 and still I am happy I got to share some thoughts that seems valuable to me. Even $0.01 is exciting to see. Yesterday I did my first blog. I called it, What Some Did For The Flu Back In 1918 To 1919 - Water and Baking Soda Saved Their Lives. In it I mention how just using baking soda and water to combat the flu. I wasn't sure I can take photos from the net so I just took out my camera and set up some baking soda and a cup of water and shot it. Today I see it made $0.02. I am very happy for that $0.02. I am more happy to share some information that someone can really use and use right now. So I will keep on commenting and since I did make some money with my blog I will keep doing that also. I still don't know much about this Steemit stuff. I figure if it takes off my little money here and there will add to something big 10 years from now.

I've heard about cooking bacon before but never tried it. Could you explain the process so I could give it a try myself?

Sure, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. I put the bacon on a glass baking dish trying not to let one strip touch the other. The directions say to cook for 15 to 20 minutes depending on how crispy you like it. Maybe check at 15 minutes and see if you want to go longer or not. I just set my phone alarm for 20 minutes and go on my way doing other things. As soon as the alarm goes off I go back to the oven and take it out. I let it cool for a bit then I dig in. Also you have rendered bacon fat that you can use at another time for cooking eggs or adding some to potato salad. I watched this one lady on youtube say she used about a table spoon of bacon fat in her potato salad and at a big family gathering her potato salad gets eaten up before the other potato salads. Now that more people are getting into the keto diet it is worth looking into.

Hmm. I always bake my bacon but I've always still felt the need to flip it halfway through so it cooks more thoroughly. Going to try it your way and save a step!

Yes, save that one step and you have more freedom. Just make sure you can hear your alarm or you might burn it. If you use a kitchen timer and are in another room you might not hear the alarm. I like using the cell phone as I always keep it with me so I don't miss it.
