BaconFest!
Macaroni and cheese lubricated with bacon fat – curiously fabulous
Bacon wrapped figs with goat cheese – sublime joy
Cupcakes with bacon icing – yes, cupcakes with bacon!
Bacon wrapped jalape̱o poppers РPowie! Zowie!
Mini bacon bread buns – one of my contributions!
Italian spiced bacon bread rollup – mine! got a couple good reviews :-)
Jesse’s Bacon Wheel Casserole – as he described it, “…just a tuna noodle casserole BUT we use wagon-wheel shaped pasta, AND use bacon instead of tuna. The idea is that the small pieces of bacon will get lodged between the spokes of the wheel.” !! :-)
There were more bacon based finger foods that I consumed that added to the joy of the evening but, alas I forget what they were! Phoey!
Excellent conversation with Susie!
It was startling how within 15 minutes of arrival there was this bacon fueled frenzy of eating and “om om nom nom om!” and heated conversation with eye-rolling-back goodness. It’s weird that it’s hard to put my finger exactly on why it was so good. It was little like being drunk. It was… dare I say, the magic of bacon!
CTP had left a pile of awesome bacon themed buttons. CTP is awesome.
“Bacon: The Gateway Meat”
“Bacon: It’s what’s for dinner”
“Bacon: It’s what’s for desert”
“1: Kittens
2: ???
3: Bacon
4: Genitals
5: Safety”
(If you don’t get that numbered list, historically, safety was first but it had recently fallen to third. But bacon is the new safety and.. well, it’s funny, just trust me!)
While it’s silly to get into a discussion around which use of bacon is the best, I’ve found few dishes that trump bacon-wrapped/rolled dates over a campfire…
