Food

This was supposed to be this week's Sunday dinner, but by the time Brianna and I left the Zoo, we were both pretty dead on our feet, so we went out to eat instead.  With plenty of fresh ingredients in the fridge, I knew I had to cook tonight, however.  I couldn't let that deliciousness go to waste.

For tonight's dinner, I decided to fix some "posh" pigs in a blanket.  In an effort to be somewhat healthy, I grabbed a recipe for a wilted spinach salad with warm feta dressing from Epicurious.

This weekend, I decided I needed to start making real Sunday dinners again.  It will be a good start toward cooking full meals more regularly.  So I popped out to the grocery store and grabbed the ingredients for this:

When I fail to post the latest bacon-related news here or via twitter, I invariably receive links from my friends alerting me to the gaps in my bacon-related knowledge.  So it was with the Baconcylopedia, and so it was with a science story in the Telegraph Josh sent me.

According to the scientists, a bacon sandwich really can cure a hangover!  Apparently, the amino acids from the proteins in the bacon make you feel good and even give you a clearer head while the food itself speeds up your metabolism, which rids you of the alcohol that much faster.  They even look into what makes the smell of cooking bacon so darned irresistible.

With that in mind, I think I found something that has the potential to cure not just the after effects of a hard night out, but should also take care of most genetic disorders:  the Ultimate Bacon Sandwich.  How can a recipe that starts with twenty-two slices of bacon be wrong?

I think I know what I want for breakfast this Sunday morning.

A big thanks to Deryck for this one!

I'm not sure where he came across the link, but he found for me the site for all your bacon needs: The Baconcyclopedia.  It's a stunningly complete listing of links to bacon information all over the Internet.  Much of it, of course, I've seen in my own wanderings, but there's plenty of stuff there that I haven't.  Everything is organized and categorized, and displayed in one enormous page for your browsing convenience.

Be careful when you visit, you'll come away hungry for the Candy of Meats.

Including my own website! A special thanks to for pointing this one out.  And, of course, to for making it possible to improve every single website in existence.  Even MySpace.

A big thanks to for pointing this out to me! It may surprise some of you that I'm not the biggest fan of BBQ out there.  Mostly it's that there are precious few BBQ sauces I like (the one that uses when she cooks ribs being among the best).  But I also firmly believe that there is no part of the pig that is not delicious, and that bacon can make anything better.  So when I saw this, I immediately began drooling:

Tomorrow is the big day for , as they launch their new sandwich spread.  And to mark the occasion, the epic rivalry between Bacon and Mayonnaise will finally be settled:

I know what side I'm on.

BaconnaiseI truly thought the world was about to end last week when I heard about .  Mayonnaise fully embodies everything that is wrong with the world today.  Concerned for the well-being of the fabric of reality (as I have no place else, currently, to store my stuff), I wrote an impassioned email to J&D, the creators of and the forthcoming Baconnaise.  It seemed to me they were indulging in research which possibly violated the laws of physics and would certainly create an abomination the likes of which the world has never seen. As it turns out, I may have been wrong....

There is one substance that, although some otherwise intelligent adults seem to think it's edible, I find to be unspeakably vile.  That putrid semi-congealed spread is mayonnaise.  It can ruin almost any food merely with its touch.  I would, in most cases, throw away a sandwich touched by mayo rather than get it anywhere near my mouth. And this is why I was absolutely astounded when jher showed me this:
