Bacon and Big Dog Turds

It appears I'm not doing a very good job of creating a very exciting blog or farsebook page.  Maybe I should cook some bacon naked and video it. However, I do see a flaw in that plan.  Cooking bacon creates a bit of "spatter" and that said spatter could be detrimental to important areas. I did get a few "Likes" this week on the ole farsebook though.  Overall, I'm still having fun with the ole bloggin thing and bacon thing and the pound o bacon friday thing and the repetitive weekly bacon eating. I had a few slices of bacon with an omelette for lunch on Friday.  Just couldn't help myself.  That bacon stuff is just delicious and so nutritious. Think about it.... Remember when "they" said eggs were bad for you because of all the fat in the yolk?  Well, just wait.  Eventually "they" are going to be saying.... "Upon further review and statistical analysis of the datum, we have come to the scientific conclusion that the ingestion of fried pork products actually enhances the libido and extends life by .17 times that of the average human. So the question is.... Do you want to be average?  I mean really, average people die, but baconators live on. Example:  My grandparents.... They still eat bacon.  Coincidence?  I think not!! Well this turned out to be pretty random.  I did cook bacon jalepeno poppers again this week but I added some pepperoni to the mix.  Arrllll.  It was bacon-licious. SQUIRREL!

Bacon Friday Jalapeno Poppers

It was another delicious Friday containing a pound of bacon in the form of wrapped jalapenos.  Also, it will become blatently obvious as you read further that I don't follow any recipes normally.  I just throw stuff together.  Hmm, I'll try to actually document my bacon recipes better. First I started with what I thought would be spicy jalapenos.... NOT!
Jalapenos
Since I figured they wouldn't be spicy, I slightly pureed the innards.

Then I also slightly powderized a hearty amount of crushed red pepper and combined it with the jalapeno innards and cream cheese.

Cooked at around 450F for 23 min 45 sec.  (Not sure on the exact temp., and I just pressed 2345 on my timer cuz it was easy.)  I also broiled them for about 5 min 55 sec at the end to brown up the tops nicely.

The Most Boring POBF Ever!

Well, it's been a few weeks since the bacon brekkie implosion and honestly the holiday's have totally made everything all pear shaped. ARGH. So this week, just to get the Pound O Bacon Friday in I baked up 1lb of bacon with some crushed red pepper and a lil ground red pepper. Yeah, suuuper boring. I know. Ugh. If you're a bacon cooking genius, let me know because next year I'll be hiring a chef.

Yeah, I know... Very disappointing. That's just it is during the holiday season. All this fuss about visiting and gifts and bla bla bla. If you really wanna give something this year, do something meaningful. If you don't know what that is, leave a comment and I'll help you out. Meaningful doesn't have to cost money ya know. Duh. Baconator out....

POBF Brekkie Bacon Implosion

When I first started Pound O Bacon Friday I never envisioned it being this amazing.  This weekend's Brekkie Bacon Implosion was IN-credible!  It's kinda like a breakfast burrito with bacon but inside out. This is very similar to the bacon explosion or my version, da bacon bomb.  However, now it's more like breakfast. Ingredients:
  • 1lb Bacon
  • 1lb Spicy Jimmy Dean sausage
  • 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
  • LOTS of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • Little Seasoning
  • 1/4 Potato cut in slivers
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • Pepperoni
  • 4 Super Spicy Green Chilis
  • Little BBQ Sauce, Fuji Muji Sauce, Texas Champagne, Teriyaki all mixed on top of the sausage.  (Fuji Muji and TX Champagne are hot sauces)
  • Garlic cloves cut in thirds.  (I forgot this step.  ARRGH)
  • 3 Eggs Scrambled up with red onions, crushed garlic, and a few crumbled cooked bacon slices.
  • 1/2 Tortilla slivered up and laid out strategically

Bacon Disclaimer: Don't go thinking I'm gonna be getting all namby pamby tree huggerish on ya. This is just an observation and should not be taken out of character.  Now go pick up something heavy and eat some bacon!  🙂 Just a quick post about something that happened while shopping tonight. Anyway, I took my normal trip to the store tonight, after working out, for all the goodies: Rockstars, Ice cream, Candy, etc etc… And when I walked up to the store a student from a local high school handed me a list of items they were collecting for a food drive. At first I thought, Oh geez, here we go. But, then I thought, This students got some balls to be out there doing this and probably getting rejected left and right. So as I walked in the store I started thinking about my glutinous Pound O Bacon Friday and that some people don't have the glorious opportunity to eat a pound of bacon every week….or ever. That led to a mini shopping spree; Everything from sugar to flour to canned everything and of course tuna cuz people should have lotso proteins. (Yes I said proteins because people need more than one. DUH!) Just thought I'd share that and say, next time you're out shopping and are asked to donate some foods, think about the fact that you are "going shopping" because you can. Not everyone gets a chance to "go shopping". Ok, that is all. I'm off the soap box and I'm also going to go shoot some guns and eat some bacon and if I were drinking I'd have a PBR or Schlitz to wash it down. Then I'd chop down a tree. Baconator out

Pound O Bacon Friday Before & After Video

Comments Welcome.  Everyone thinks being fit requires a strict diet.  I say WHATEVER.  That's too much work.  People think that it's impossible to be fit when you eat a pound of bacon and everything else I eat on a weekly basis.  Well, it's not.  Hopefully this video will prove that.  It's not about what you eat once in a while. Let me know if you're curious about what I do to maintain my fitness levels and everything.  I am NOT into things lik P90x or crossfit or whatever.  That s#!t is waaaay to difficult.  Plus, I don't like cardio and I don't like to sweat when I workout! Feel free to comment.
