Anyone else here a fan of Jim Gaffigan?...
"What makes breakfast in bed so special is your are laying down eating BACON. The most wonderful thing on earth.
Bacon is the best. Even the frying of bacon sounds like applause...ahhhhhh
Do you want to know how good bacon is? To improve other foods, they wrap it in bacon.
If it weren't for bacon, we wouldn't know what a waterchesnut is!
..and those bits of bacon are like fairy dust. You don't want that baked potato? prrring! now it is your favorite part of the meal.
Not interested in that salad?
Bibbidi bobbidi bacon!
The only problem with bacon is that it makes you thirsty for.....MORE BACON. "
Thanks Jim.. and with that, we have a bacon dish. Ahhh. Bacon.
Spontaneously the hubs invited some mensfolk over for dinner. I had no idea what to make. I had most the makings for chicken cordon bleu- which was on my dinner menu. But a little ham ate all my ham. SOOoo staring into the deep dark depths of my fridge I saw it. BACON. And it turned out awesome. All the mensfolk died and went to heaven right there on my kitchen table.
Well they are mens. and it was bacon....
and it was this easy....
