Finally.

Okay. Enough already.
Our blog queens have been relentless in beating me up about finally blogging. (I won’t write their names, but they rhyme with Barren and Hurling)
I know our nation is facing an epidemic of obesity and cholesterol is a concern for most of us over 40 people over 40. (Hurling, how do I get rid of that blatant lie I typed???) Nonetheless, I have finally found my inspiration for the first blog.
If you’re like me, and I know I am, you love anything that comes off a grill or a smoker. (They’re different beasts, but I think I’ll leave that to another blog!) Yankees who scoff at the idea of mullet turn to putty when sampling this divine fish after a session on the smoker. The cheapest cuts of beef are rendered to excellence with a little hickory and a lot of time.
So, for your consideration, I point you to a most heavenly website–especially for those of us who know the difference between lump charcoal and the lowly briquette. I give you—– THE BACON EXPLOSION!!
Not for the faint of heart…In fact it’s probably not good for any heart. Yet what started as slop & sow on a farm has become a masterpiece of porcine perfection.
Enjoy

Funny that you mentioned that recipe because it’s an internet sensation. The New York Times did a great write-up of its success and the delicious recipe. I’m including the article in my latest “Articles of Interest” but you don’t read that either so here’s a link:

Maybe you’ll learn something and continue to help our cause out!

Just saw the picture of this – my atreries hurt, but in a good, tingly way.
So some friends made this over the weekend. It was…interesting.
Not like this is really relevant, but you mentioned bacon and I came across this today – The Bacon Man. http://foodproof.com/blogs/view/post/bacon-man-435
Weird.
