Waitin' For Bacon

This year for Christmas my sister gave me what may prove to be the GREATEST GIFT since Mir- a six month subscription to "Bacon of the Month"! Each month, The Pig Next Door (www.ThePigNextDoor.com) will be sending me artisan bacon along with detailed tasting notes and recipes designed to highlight the flavors of each selection.

For those who don't know me, I am nothing short of a bacon fiend. I love bacon. I dream of bacon. I am drooling just typing the word "bacon".

I am scheduled to be receiving my first shipment of bacon in the next few days. In preparation, I went to the library and checked out "The Bacon Cookbook" by James Villas. I have read up, selected some faves, and even started practicing with plain ol' grocery store bacon.

Needless to say, I am pretty excited about the prospect of making some gourmet bacon treats. You, faithful reader, will benefit from all these happenings as I will post all recipes and pertinent tips as I "chew the fat". If you are close enough, I may even let you taste.

Check back soon to see whats cooking!

Itchin' to get in the Kitchen,
