Steal the bacon-- just not MY bacon!

Stole.
My.
Bacon.


My bacon is not for stealing.



Remember the Bacon Explosion I posted a few weeks ago? Delicious recipe that called for 2 lbs of bacon? Yeah, that bacon came in a pack of 4 1lb bags. That means I had 2 lbs left.

So THEN I made green beans with bacon, onion, and tomato. I made it twice. That used up another pound. That means I had 1lb left.

So I go to look for it just now, and... WHERE'S MY BACON?!! It's not in the fridge, it's not in the freezer. I even got panicked enough to look in a couple of drawers. Just in case? No bacon.

I called Bryce, and he has no idea where it is either. I made him reassure me that he wasn't playing a trick or something (though I don't know what kind of "trick" it would be-- hiding-- bacon...) and then I did another thorough sweep of the fridge and freezer. I took everything off the shelves and felt around corners in case my bacon is lying neglected and afraid in some secret refrigerator dungeon between the vegetable drawer and the wall.

I found no bacon. Though I did find some dried mushrooms labeled "Matsutake 10/17/97" (the last person to live in our condo was Japanese, so I guess she kept a special stash. I just googled it to confirm and found that it's a highly sought after mushroom that can be sold for $2,000 per kilogram when it's in season. Um. Wonder what 13 year old mushrooms would sell for...). ANYWAYS, still no bacon.

I'm very vexed by this missing bacon... I would remember eating/cooking a whole pound of bacon.

Thoughts on where my bacon went?

The Meat Cake Adventure

So I made this meat cake/log/brick for our church's ManFood competition. I laughed several times while making it, just because...well, I hope you can laugh at it, too.

Here we go:

Step (1) Weave 1 lb of bacon together.

Technically still good like this.



Step (2) Cover bacon mat with 1 lb ground beef. Sprinkle with a little cooked bacon.


Step (3) Press a mix of whole and sliced Little Smokies into the beef.



Smokies: the only other meat that could've improved this thing.


Step (4) Cover with cheese.


Step (5) Add MORE BACON!?!


Step (6) It needs BBQ sauce. And BBQ seasoning.



Slather away.


Step (7) Roll that sucker up and cook it good! Do not eat until fully cooked, however tempting.



Admire the weave.
