Oh, hell. Does the Betty Ford Clinic have a "bacon wing"?
Of course this is all in jest. I do like bacon on my hamburgers, but that's only one every week or two. And I do enjoy a traditional eggs and bacon breakfast on Sunday mornings, but rarely on a weekday.
I enjoy a bacon-wrapped filet mignon, but after it's grilled I don't eat the bacon. It's just there to keep the filet juicy since filet is just beef tenderloin with no fat around it. That's about the extent of my bacon intake. Oh...and I like crumbled-up bacon on top of a salad, too. Sorry to burst your bubble.
And when I cook bacon instead of cooking it in a skillet on the cooktop, with the finished product just laying there in a pool of grease, I cook it on top of paper towels in the microwave. I like mine slightly crispy.
Looking online, however, I've found some recipes for various "bacon-infused" products that I think might have originated in the minds of people who could actually use a few days at Betty Ford. For example:
How about a bacon, coffee and vodka "breakfastini"?
And the ever popular bacon and hard liquor. (OK, this one isn't so far fetched.)
White chocolate and bacon cookies, anyone?
Screw "sweet tooth". How about "bacon tooth"?
And finally, for the guy who's both bacon obsessed and sexually innovative...
'Nuff said.
Have a great weekend everyone. *off to the pharmacy* ;)
