Today was our annual
BaconFest Christmas Breakfast and Ornament ExchangeTM at the office. Here's all the bacon-related offerings:
Bacon-bourbon meatballs
Bacon deviled eggs
Glazed bacon waffles
Bacon pancakes
Candied bacon skewers
Chocolate bacon skewers
Hashbrown casserole with bacon
Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers
Bacon-sausage balls
Bacon kolaches
Bacon s'mores
Bacon corn muffins
Puff pastry wrapped baked brie with bacon and maple syrup
Puff pastry wrapped baked brie with bacon and Tabasco jelly
Plain ol' bacon
Of course there were a couple of sad, unhappy bacon-repressed people who brought healthy food, but I'm not going to waste the internet recording that.
A good time was had by all.
BaconFest 2017 is tomorrow.

What time? If I leave in 10 minutes I might be able to drive fast enough to get there in time.

BaconFest 2017 is in the books. I am nearly comatose, so forgive me if I slur. This year's offerings:
- Bacon beercheese explosion (beerchese full of chopped bacon, stuffed into a ball of sausage, wrapped in more bacon, smoked, and drizzled with more beercheese)
- Captain Crunch fried chicken wrapped in bacon
- Savory bacon whoopie pies
- Elvis Bombs (small peanut butter and banana sandwiches, wrapped in bacon, fried in butter, and served with a honey drizzle). These were a special kind of good. Like hurt yourself good.
- Bacon jam (a yuge success if I do say so myself)
- Applewood smoked bacon wrapped fried mozerella
- Bacon chocolate chip cookies
- Bacon cheddar tater tot casserole
- Bacon croissant pinwheel casserole wreath
- Bacon jalapeno cream cheese bites in filo dough
There were a couple of well-intentioned millennial types that brought fruit and stuff, too. It was a sweet gesture plus it gave me someone new to pray for.

Yes, but you can't trust him.

Just got back from Costco. They were handing out free samples of bacon.
There are many terrible attributes of the lowly cob. Not the least of them is that it makes you look like a doof.

Roanoke has a baconfest in the spring/summer. Best thing I have had there is a maple glazed doughnut with bacon in the glaze from a doughnut truck from Harrisonburg.

Last night at a Christmas party I had bacon wrapped dates browned in maple syrup.
Outstanding!
Truly, they were.

Bacon wrapped grilled shrimp and flank steak with grilled peppers and onion, fresh salsa, beans, rice and quacamole at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town, “Tequilas.”
They call this special, Dos Amigos.
It’s my favorite item on the menu.

There seems to be a glitch in the quality control for Kroger's thick cut bacon. Today I got TWO
extra-thick slices rather than the typical zero or the occasional one. Bonus bacon, baby!

There was a sign this morning on the board next to the door at the office, it reads:

I smoked/grilled boneless chicken thighs wrapped in thick cut bacon. Then slathered on doctored cheapie BBQ sauce while being smoked over Pecan and Apple Wood.
Horseradish in the BBQ sauce. mmm-m.
Pecan wood is too light. Don't get it.
