Bacon Party..

I had a successul bacon party this past Friday. Nearly 30 folks came, bringing booze and bacon dishes. At first I couldn't imagine how much bacon items can be made - but my friends all were very creative and suprisingly dished out some mouth-watering and savory dishes. I wish I had time to make Bacon Vodka, but sadly it take a total of 3 weeks to make such a concoction. The week ended with the bacon party, to kick of Memorial Day weekend. It was party after the next, alot of drinking and dehydration.

Bacon salt was contributed to the party.. Yes.. bacon salt!! What is nice about the bacon salt story, is that it's kosher- these Pig in a bottle are sent to troops in war areas that are Muslim States, sending a little piece of home to the men that serve our country. Yes that was my way of starting off Memorial Day Weekend.. to make us all realize how lucky we are to live in a Pig Eating Country.. and to give thanks to the men and women who are serving our country in far away lands, who don't have the luxury to eat Pork..

Here are some dishes that were made:

Bacon Smores and Bacon Slider Pancakes made by Kit

Bacon Wrapped Chicken and Scallops made by David

Bacon Ice Cream (which tasted like pralines and cream) by Gretchen

BLT

By the end of the night there were many buzzed and bacon happy folks. This will not be my last Bacon party that I promise! I love food themes!

Feeling the Pounding of the Music..

I was all worked up to going to a rave.. I mean how long has it been? It's been years.. at least 8 yrs, and I felt this would be an insanely exciting experience. Sadly it wasn't. The raving culture has died out a long time back, and I don't know if there will be a revival any time soon. I went with a friend and his friend and it was very interesting to see people all decked out in Halloween gear, some with their boobs exposed wearing vinyl pants.. I felt out of place. Like a nun in a strip club. Don't get me wrong.. there is nothing wrong with being creative and self expressive- but to what extent can you really be an individual?
I believe that individuality is overrated- that sadly if you thought of it, the next guy was already 10 steps ahead of you..
The music was way loud- that was when I realized.. hey I like the music, but not necessary in a venue that caters to 18+ kids.. It's ok I like being in my 20's , I like dressing up and going out for drinks.. call me a yuppie , call me old.. I enjoy the bartenders making up jazzie drinks.. I like to be thirsty and quenching it with a diet rum and coke!
