More Bacon Goodness!
This bit of bacon’y goodness was brought to my attention today and, as with most things bacon related, it impressed me enough to pass it along… and secretly file it away for future use… like Sunday morning breakfast.
It’s from a book called This is Why You’re Fat… which somehow seems appropriate.

Bacon… only better!
I’ve seen some pretty awesome bacon recipes before and some awesome things done with bacon and even some awesome bacon art, but I just saw a recipe posted by a Facebook friend (thanks, Neece!) and it has absolutely got to be the most awesome edible thing ever done with bacon.
Think I’m kidding? I don’t kid when it comes to bacon.
I present… with all due glorious fanfare… Chicken Fried Bacon …with gravy!
Yes. You read that right.
This is bacon, covered in seasoned flour, dredged in an egg wash (which includes cream), rolled in crackers… and fried. Then it’s dipped in a gravy that’s made with butter, cream, and chicken broth (and some spices). So let’s see… that’s bacon, egg, cream, butter, more cream, and chicken broth. Oh… and fried in oil.
I’m having a cholesterol-gasm just thinking about it (that’s a good thing, in case you’re wondering).
The Bacon Lance
Okay, so it’s not like I (and the enlightened contingent of humanity) don’t know that bacon isn’t the world’s most awesome meat, but until today, even I didn’t fully comprehend the heights of awesomeness that bacon could reach.
Now I know.
Behold, the bacon lance… a torch made of bacon that burns so hot it can cut through a steel pan. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s a cutting torch… made of bacon.
Ummm… wow. You can watch the video below (or at the link above) of the bacon lance’s construction.
My favorite quote: “It turns out that ordinary American bacon does not have the structural integrity that’s necessary for this applicaiton so I’m using an engineering grade of bacon which is known as prosciutto.”
“Engineering grade”… R0XX0R!
Sadly, at the end of the article, there’s a warning which says, “Theodore Gray is trained in lab safety. Don’t try this at home.”
So much for my weekend plans.
