The midge bars are great with bar-end shifters. You just need to be careful
since the bars have so much flare - they tend to bump into things. But the

Hi Deacon,
Yep! I understand that EBDJ emphasizes fat, so in my scramble I leave all
the burger fat in the pan (definitely). Also, I often pour olive oil on the
dish just before I serve it. And sometimes I add a chunk of butter or ghee
to the pan before I add the onions. So I'm trying! :)
Fat calories add up quick. Are you sure you are counting them all in your
calculations? (I don't do calculations, just eating to hunger, so I have no
idea what it takes short of OCD level measuring to get any generally
accurate idea).
