Food of the Gods

I think bacon is the poor man's natural beta blocker.
This accounts for it's popularity on gun boards.
I think four to six strips of bacon, consumed two to
three hours before a target match, might significantly
improve a score. Beethoven ate bacon.It improved his
scores too. Tiger went on a no bacon diet,and all his
scoring was greatly changed.

Just thinking

What is it with bacon and ingunowners?

its more a bacon and manliness thing. owning guns is also manly, so the two go hand in hand.

So I guess you guys have a laptop? Because it seems a little foolish to have a desktop set up in the kitchen.

 

[sjstill]

There used to be a restaurant on the westside on lafayette that made the burger with two donuts. You can feel your arteries clogging while you eat it, but it is so delicious

Dropped by the Winter Farmer's Market last Saturday. The ladies at 240Sweets had Bacon, Maple, and Toffee Marshmallows. Yes, that's just one flavor. 240Sweets specializes in handmade marshmallows and they have a wide variety to offer each Saturday morning, but I had never seen the Bacon/Maple/Toffee ones before. And yes.....they were excellent.


(Their website is http://www.240sweet.com/index.html is you want to see for yourself or order some....)

(((No, I don't work for these people, I don't even know them. I just know that they make some ridiculous local handcrafted marshmallows. And I like that.)))

I recently read this book, the title makes me think of it:

 

[Icarry2]

I am now a Bigger Fan of Bacon!! I have some in the fridge and when I make dinner, I am making some.. So what if my better half tells me "it doesn't go with dinner" bacon goes with anything..

One of my all time favorite lines from Band of Brothers was when the guy tells the orderly to get him a bacon sandwich...

Two recipes found in a news story about a bacon fest in San Francisco.

Marisa’s Bacon Ravioli
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh pasta dough, rolled out into sheets
1 lb Hormel® Black Label® bacon
1/2 white onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, half chopped, half smashed with flat side of knife
4 oz parmesan cheese, grated
2 cups ricotta
2 cups spinach, fresh
2 tbsp each fresh sage, thyme, chopped
parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
½ cup of olive oil
pinch of red pepper flakes

Sauté half the bacon until slightly crispy and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside. Chop into thin strips when cooled.

Sauté half of the chopped onion with the chopped garlic on low-medium heat for a few minutes. Add the spinach and wilt for a minute. Remove from heat.

Mix spinach, ricotta, parmesan, bacon strips, and half of the sage and thyme in bowl.

Lay out pasta sheets and place about ½ - 1 tsp. of filling in small mounds an inch apart.
Brush water between mounds. Place another sheet on top and press around filling.

Use knife or cookie cutter to cut into individual raviolis.

Boil a large pot of water with salt.

Meanwhile, heat up 2 pans. In one, cook remaining bacon until crispy; remove from heat and crumble.

In other pan, heat up olive oil on medium heat. Add 2 smashed garlic cloves and cook for a few minutes, then remove the garlic. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, then add remaining sage and thyme and immediately remove from heat.

Cook ravioli in boiling, salted water for about 2 minutes, being careful not to let them stick together. Remove with slotted spoon and top with oil sauce.

Garnish with fresh parsley and crumbled bacon.



Tom's Hog Heaven
Ingredients:
1 lb sliced bacon
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 lb dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup roasted almonds, chopped
1 cup dried sour cherries

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

In small bowl, mix brown sugar and pepper.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Lay out the bacon on the foil making sure not to overlap pieced. Cover each slice with the sugar and pepper mix.

Bake 15 minutes, or until crispy. Drain on paper towel. Allow to cool and harden

In a double broiler over simmering heat, add the chocolate. Line a Baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper spreading chocolate with a spatula to even out

Sprinkle bacon, almonds and cherries over the chocolate. Gently press everything into the chocolate. Allow to set for 2-3 hours in the fridge.

Crack bark into pieces and serve.


Enjoy!

Blessings,
Bill
