I guess folks figure I don’t have enough bacon in my life, so they send me bizarre and beautiful uses for nature’s true fruit. I always have the best intentions to include them in blogs, comic strips and emails, but something usually comes up and I forget.
Anyway, I got a couple of good ones today, so I thought I’d take the time to share…
My good friend and drummer for the incredibly cool The Party Faithful, Paul Frick sent me this unbelievably simple recipe for bacon-flavored vodka. I’m not really a vodka man–I prefer the cowboy ways of whisky– But I have to try and make this. Simply wonderful. And you know I’m garnishing my bacon martini with a thick strip of cured pork goodness…
What do you suppose a dirty bacon martini would be? You leave some of the grease?
AND! My friend, former and hopefully future editor, Ned Ehrbar sent me a page with a recipe for assembling bacon bowls… To fill with what? Whatever the Hell you want! You just made a bowl from bacon.
Simply glorious, guys. A million greasy thanks.
