bacon

Ha!

Seen here, "deep-fried, bacon-wrapped bacon sprinkled on pork chops." (Runners-up: smearable beef packets, kielbasa chutney, squeeze-bottled chicken, bologna sherbet, and ham brulée.)

Two remarkable men glorify that patronymic. Roger and Francis.

Well, tell her to give us that bacon doughnut recipe we asked for. ;-)

At a recent family wedding, one of the uncles let slip that my mom, the health nut, knows how to make doughnuts from scratch. She's been holding out on us all these years.

That's a doughnut? It looks like a cruise missile!

If you're ever in Portland, OR, you should go to Voodoo Doughnut for the bacon doughnut...

Yum! Sounds as good as those baloney & grape jelly sandwiches I used to make. :-)

Bacon chocolate cake.

That *is* impressive.

Good chef? Nah, she just knows bacon. Well, she's a better chef than me. But I burn water.

Your mom may just be a really good chef. My mom always baked our bacon in a two-level pan so it was less fattening. I didn't discover properly-fried bacon until college.

The heaven-factor is restricted to a tiny margin between the thresholds of too squishy and too crispy. Get it right, and yes, heaven. But few can get it right. That or I'm just one picky dude.

Heaven on a plate.
