Let's Talk Bacon!

In our dotage we are told not to eat things we like. With a friend I said I miss chips and dip. His was bacon. bacon Bacon BACON! quoting my reply here: "I share this without attempting to draw you to The Dark Side.Prior to the current tribulations I’d had a good run with a confection available only from a few specialty providers. BACON PECAN SANDIES! I merely took a leading online recipe for sandies and changed the measure of pecan bits to half pecan and half crispy bacon bits. On limited sharing the consumers, to a man jack of them, encouraged me to move Bacon Pecan Sandies onto the commercial market. (I actually own that domain name . . .) Frying fresh pork belly (also called “pork sides”) eliminates the salt from curing but, sadly, not the fat itself. I have some turkey bacon on hand but it’s like kissing your sister." My Evil Twin Robert finally came to me and said, "You're fucking 61 and you haven't had chips and dip like you want in months? Pussy!" Didn't hurt that a lead brand was bogo free . . .
