Day 1: Crumbled bacon on our hamburgers. Wifey had hers with bleu cheese, mine was American. Plus lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard.
Day 2: Bacon-wrapped tenderloin! Cooked in the oven and then thrown on the grill for a couple of minutes. A perfect medium rare. So tender, so delicious. Much better than bean sprouts or whatever plants my wife's friends ate.
Day 3: Pizza with pineapple and bacon. Baseball season has started and tonight we had two practices - same thing on Tuesdays - so it was a quickie dinner.
Day 4: Chocolate covered bacon. Yes, I know, it sounds disgusting. Well, it sounded disgusting to me anyways. Wifey has been wanting to try this for years, and the Bacon-atarian Challenge was her perfect opportunity, and a party we were at last night was the perfect time for it. Melted semi-sweet chocolate chips completely covering cooked thick-cut bacon strips. The verdict? People either loved it or hated it. Definitely worth trying once, I would say.
Day 5: Patty Cakes. These are leftover mashed potatoes mixed with an egg, bacon, cheese, onion powder, salt and pepper. Kind of like a fried twice-baked potato pancake. Not too bad.
Day 6: Tossed Salad with Bacon. No explanation needed.
Day 7: Breakfast for Dinner. Simple bacon strips matched with pancakes and hash brown patties. Simple, yet effective.
Day 8: Bacon-Potato Soup, with melted cheddar cheese, parsley and celery. Not the type of thing you'd expect with warm weather, but three of us are under the weather.
Day 9: ?
Nothing to do with bacon, but I've been meaning to ask about your wheel bearing repack. How did it go?
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks delicious. Bacon makes everything better. Well, everything except your weight, cholesteral and overall health!
ReplyDelete@Rachael: We're not eating a whole package of bacon every night, so the health effect isn't too bad. We're mostly just using bacon a little bit her and there in our side dishes, that's all.
ReplyDelete@Nico'Thom: Repacking the wheel bearings went just fine, thank you for asking. How's the new bag thingy on your gas tank?
