Ok, so it's not healthy for you. Neither is breathing in L.A. County.

[blueerica]

And yet we still do it...
















Wait, I don't do that anymore. At least not as often. I totally had to cut back on my L.A. air.

Unlike bacon. Which I never seem to have enough opportunities to eat.

[blueerica]

Oh yeah, and I've decided (and am not sure whether it's covered here), that baking your bacon makes the best bacon bits. Next time, I may separate my bits batch from my EAT NOW NOM NOM batch - since the options will be greater for bacon embellishments.

[Chernabog]

If you want to feel ill - click here (http://www.chilis.com/menu/default.asp)then on download nutritional information. It's not pretty.

The best is the nutritional information on the Awesome Blossom. If you ate a whole thing, that's more calories and fat than a human being is supposed to eat in two whole days :p

[Gn2Dlnd]

That's what makes it awesome.

Well, they would cook bacon only in the Oven. it was the only correct way to do it as far as they were concerned.

We watched the pig fly away through most of the break. I believe what I said was "I'm going to just lie here and watch the pig fly".

[Kevy Baby]

As I suspected, they didn't just let him float free into the ether. You can clearly see the lines tethering him to the ground.

Freakin' awesome!

[Not Afraid]

There were lines tethering him as he circled the audience, however the let him go afterwards. He sailed away into pig heaven - a place where there is no bacon.

As I suspected, they didn't just let him float free into the ether. You can clearly see the lines tethering him to the ground.

Freakin' awesome!As Lisa said, once it made a full lap of the audience, they released it and it floated off into nothingness. Lisa kept her eye on it until it completely disappeared from view high in the southwest night sky.

[Gn2Dlnd]

Oh, Lisa! I'm so sorry!

When did you lose an eye?

On the upside, do you get to wear a pirate patch? :argghh:

[Kevy Baby]

I am very surprised that they let them do that. Something that large floating off loose into the sky - Wow!

[blueerica]

I am very surprised that they let them do that. Something that large floating off loose into the sky - Wow!

I was wondering about its hazardous nature, being that there are creatures that would find plastic piggies interesting enough. What's the ecological impact of a loose inflatable pig?

On the flipside, the ecological impact is likely much less than that of the things the piggy protests...

[Ponine]

I am very surprised that they let them do that. Something that large floating off loose into the sky - Wow!

But now to the next question, how much will the person who finds him get for piggy on ebay?

[Ghoulish Delight]

I don't know that "let" was part of the equation.

[JWBear]

I can just imagine the conversation between a fighter pilot sent up to investigate this UFS* and their base.

"It's a pig."
"A MIG?!"
"No. A Pig, as in pork. A giant flying pig."
"ummm... Right...."

[Moonliner]

Step right up and place your bets ladies and gentlemen......

How long will it be before said pig is up for auction on EBay?

Bonus points if you come closest to the actual selling price.

[alphabassettgrrl]

It'll show up on Ebay in week and will sell for $559.

[Kevy Baby]

See my post on the flying pig here (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?p=207055#post207055).

[Not Afraid]

If it shows up, it will be at the Coachella box office with a request for 4 lifetime passes and $10,000. I'd also request back stage passes and a limo ride to the event.

[Moonliner]

I don't know....

I'd suspect you could get more from Ebay.

[Morrigoon]

So last night's dinner started out as "I want steak" and ended up as a bacongasm.

Bought some meat to make beef skewers, and then, since we were firing up the BBQ anyway (coal - it's a b*tch to light so ya make the most of it once you do), I figured I'd get a pound of bacon...and a can of water chestnuts... and some shrimp... Also got some ears of corn, onions, and a garlic bulb, but they have nothing to do with the bacon.

ANYWAY, made a new "candied" marinade for the bacon, much sweeter than the one I used at New Years (though not as good as Susan's!) I used craploads of brown sugar, a generous sprinkling of Worcestershire, a generous splash of soy sauce, a small splash of balsamic vinegar, and some water to make the goo viscous enough to put all the bacon into the bag and mix it around (oh yeah, I use a zip-loc for this)

Then I wrapped the marinated bacon around water chestnuts, pierced with a toothpick and placed on a foil-covered cookie sheet (okay the chestnuts ended up in the oven, not the bbq). The rest of the bacon got wrapped around raw peeled shrimp, skewered, and cooked on the bbq.

There was a remaining piece or two of bacon - they went right on the grill.

And in case you're interested in the non-bacon, the corn was wrapped in foil with butter and seasoned salt. The bulb of garlic wrapped in foil by itself. And there were also a couple burgers tossed on the grill.

Never did remember one of the things I'd planned, which was to wrap bacon around some of the hot dogs in the fridge. Another time, I guess!

Oh here's another tidbit. Bought the bacon at Stater Bros. and I bought the cheapest stuff in the ugliest package (you know, the blue box?) - awesome bacon. Super meaty, I mean way better than the Oscar Meyer stuff!

Morrigoon had an idea today for bacon-wrapped BACON -- Canadian bacon wrapped in regular bacon.

Or I thought you could take three types of bacon, wrap then in each other, and have a crispy triple-bacon moebius meat ball.

Canned bacon?!?! That's just not riiiiight!

[JWBear]

I just ran across this recipe:

Swper Mam (Mother's Supper)

A traditional supper or high tea dish that incorporates cooked cheese, a favourite Welsh ingredient.

12 rashers back bacon, derinded and halved
2 onions, peeled and chopped
5 ozs. hard cheese, grated
Salt & black pepper

Set oven to 375°F or Mark 5. Butter a shallow, ovenproof dish and beginning and ending with the bacon, layer the ingredients, seasoning lightly. Bake for 30 minutes until the bacon topping is crisp. Serve accompanied by crusty bread.


Serves 4.


Mmmmmm.... Bacon and cheese....... :D

[Chernabog]

OMG I looked at the nutrition info on that canned bacon and I just realized.... bacon is really really bad for you hahaha (well by fat content, anyway)

(also, something saying that one of the ingredients is SUGAR and then it has zero carbs, is highly suspect)

Each ThinKrisp contains 1/4 cup of cheese
There are 6 Krisps in each tub.
Krisps are 4" in diameter
Each tub contains 1/2 cup of cheese.#1 x #2 = 1-1/2 cups of cheese (not 1/2 cup as indicated in #4

The strip-shaped superhero, cape flying, knows catastrophe all too well. He's endlessly at odds with his evil nemesis, Fry Guy, who always tries to burn him.

With such a creative story line, it's no surprise that 10-year-old Austin Winters' drawings and characters inspired artists from Tacoma's Museum of Glass to turn Bacon Boy into a glass sculpture for its permanent collection; the piece also will travel with an exhibit, "Kids Design Glass," expected to grace museum pedestals coast to coast.

I hope this hasn't appeared here before. I think just watching this video of chicken fried bacon (http://www.seriouseats.com/required_eating/2008/06/video-chicken-fried-bacon-sodolaks-original-country-inn-snook-texas.html) took about a decade off of my life.

Dear FlippyShark,

OMFG...the only thing missing is a dusting of icing sugar, and you'd have all 3 food groups - sugar, salt and fat, as discovered by most fast-food outlets.

It is rumoured that a fourth food group exists, but they haven't figured out how to get around the liquor laws yet.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

[lashbear]

Tori, you're going to give the Stoat a run for his money !! :snap:

My mom makes bacon wrapped boneless chicken breast, stuffed with cream cheese. It's pretty good....when she doesn't burn it that is.
...Can we place Dinner Orders now ?? :D

[LashStoat]

Bear...Bear!!!

We could have some boneless chicken (from Kentucky State) wrapped in bacon (from Canadia State) and stuffed with cream cheese (from Philadelphia State)...but we'll have to leave off the icing sugar (for our health state).

At the rate we're swimming, I figure we could spoil ourselves just once - so how's about it ToriBear...can we...can we...huh?

...and Bear...are we there yet???

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

[ToriBear]

Don't worry boys! Mom will make it when you guys come next year! I so can't wait 'till you guys come! It's going to be a blast.

[lashbear]

I wonder if Mammasilva can wrap the deep-fried-turkey in Bacon ???

Hmmmmmm...

I bought some jambon fume' chips at the store here. Bacon potato chips, people!


That sounds really good right now.

[Lauragar]

Still waiting for the recipe.... :D
As you all know a potato salad is anything you what is add to make it your own. Some use hard boiled eggs, celery, onions, you can make it your own. I got this recipe from my dog sitter many moons ago. Her recipe has changed, but I have stuck to the BACON part.

This recipe is all about your taste. If you want a BBQ bacon potato salad, use the hickory bacon, if you want a brunch potato salad use the maple bacon.

I boil the potatos the day before and refrigerate over night.

BACON POTATO SALAD RECIPE:

1 pound of bacon
3-5 pounds of rose potatos or red skinned potatos
black olived sliced small can (if you don't like, not add)
small sweet pickles about 5-7 (you can use dill)
sweet pickle juice to help thin out mayo about 1/8 cup or less (if using dill use dill juice)
mayo (two or three heaping big spoonsfull) just enough to combine
mustard just enough to use for coloring (you don't want mustard salad unless you like mustard)
pepper as much as you like

Insturction:
Boil the potatos until fork tender, cool potatos with cold water, cut into cubes, refrige into cold.
Fry the bacon until your liking, let cool, cut in pieces or crumble.
Put potatos, bacon, olives, sweet pickles is large mixing bowl, and mix to combine.
Add mayo, mustard, and pepper. If salad is to dry, add pickle juice.

NOTE:
It is all about your taste, do you like more mayo, mustard, or pepper? add more

Enjoy!!!!!
Try it out, and please let me know what you thing.

[Kevy Baby]

youre too generousIt's good to share - one doesn't want to appear greedy.

So to take our minds off the terrible fire in the Paradise, CA area, my husband Tom and I took a drive in the country to load up on smoked pork products here (http://www.nueskes.com/about/).

But that is not the point of my story. The point is this: at this smoked pork products store, there is a candy section.

Ready?

Where they sell this Vosges bacony chocolate bar (http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars).

[Disneyphile]

Oooooh. I want their Red Fire bar. Spicy and chocolaty! :D

[BDBopper]

I've never had bacon and chocolate together...but it sounds like it is definitely worth a try and probably very good. Once I try it I'll probably never be the same again!

[Kevy Baby]

Where they sell this Vosges bacony chocolate bar (http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars).A few of us have tried (discussed earlier in the thread). Has a funky aftertaste.

What about the chocolate flying pigs stuffed with bacon (http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/flying_chocolate_pig/flying_chocolate_pig)?

[Morrigoon]

I think it would be far simpler to take a nice slice of oven-cooked maple bacon and dip it in chocolate.

[Capt Jack]

ooooooh. hadnt seen those before. :cool:

I think it would be far simpler to take a nice slice of oven-cooked maple bacon and dip it in chocolate.

actually had this a few weeks ago.
Eclipse Chocolate (http://eclipsechocolat.blogspot.com/) had put on a (I think easter) luncheon. one of the items served was cocoa-glazed durac bacon...

I nearly soiled myself it was so good.

[Disneyphile]

I used to dip a ton of things in chocolate for gifts. I'll have to try this.

Well, I could always stuff the chocolate-dipped bacon in my cleavage. ;)

The Red Fire bar is WONDERFUL! I've been deprived of Vosges lately.

A BLT cake, no idea if it is bacon flavored.

I caught Dinner: Impossible last night. It was a 'sneak peek' with Iron Chef Michael Symon running things. I love him, thought the show was pretty good (and very entertaining), though with a different feel than the one Robert Irvine (who I still prefer)... but I suppose that wasn't the point.

One of his dishes was chocolate-covered BACON. Looked good. It dawned on me that I may be suffering from bacon-deficiency and that's why I'm not feeling good today. Been a few weeks since I had the yummy stuff.

At least it doesn't smell of the after effects of curry.... :eek:

A new spot for bacon lovers (http://www.cvwine.com/shop/bacon/home.html?OVRAW=bacon&OVKEY=bacon&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=33558274011&OVKWID=247899838011)

Flavors look intriguing!

Bacon Jerky (http://www.cvwine.com/shop/baconjerky.html) might be fun to try for Yosemite next Spring.

Gotta love the testimonials!

Gave the boss a 12 month bacon club membership for Christmas and gave his secretary a 6 month
membership.

Today, Thursday Jan. 10th, 2008 was promoted to Senior Regional Manager over 2 other guys who
have been with the company 3 times longer than I have.

Coincidence, I think NOT!

Thanks You Bacon Freaks.

I'm in the Seattle area for the week. Yesterday we paid a visit to the famous Pikes Place Market. The place is truly a wonder!

Crowded though... Here is the street it's on.

[wolfy999]

I've always enjoyed their fish tacos and their lobster tacos (when they offered them).

[Morrigoon]

Rubio's has great fish tacos. I can't imagine bacon tacos... I'll simply have to try them for myself ;)

[katiesue]

They're not all bacon. The steak, chicken and shrimp ones have bacon in them.

Thanks Wolfy, Katie and Goonie. I'll walk over there for lunch tomorrow!

Micechat is copying our addiction to bacon....good or bad? Not sure, if it's a compliment or a put down.They probably just got tired of only having sausage available....

[Disneyphile]

Maybe they should have started a Sausage thread instead....It would have been more appropriate, that's for sure. :evil:

But, it really doesn't matter anyway. There are a million message boards out there, and MC is just one of those million, so I'm sure there are others with bacon threads too.
