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.

I don't know....

I'd suspect you could get more from Ebay.

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!

What the hell? Are those bacon-wrapped Twinkies?

I think after eating Baconhenge, you better pray to the druids that you aren't on the crapper for the next week....

They kinda look like french toast sticks to me.

(Mmmmmm... Bacon wrapped french toast sticks....)

See THAT sounds good.

I'm just trying to figure out that mushroomey goo in the pot.

Looks like it might be a fritata-like substance.
