but you still want bacon in your life?
here's an alternative that's a little more low-key...
renowned pastry chef david lebovitz (don't worry, i didn't know who he was until just now either) has come up with a recipe for candied bacon ice cream...
i have yet to decide whether this is brilliance or madness... but i am probably to lazy (and scared) to try out the recipe to get a sound judgement. but according to the guy's website, this kind of messed up shit is all the rage in ol' paree... all hoity-toity and fancy-schmancy. chocolate chip? that's too everyday-people... give me bacon instead!this reminds me of the time an acquaintance of mine adamantly demanded that the poor teenager working the counter at the walmart mcdonalds (this story is so deliciously white trash) take his mcflurry and 'make it bacon!' (look it up - it's totally on the menu... or at least it used to be. PS - it's also the cheapest thing on the menu!) and then the entire staff and everyone in the restaurant watched as he ate it. adding to the inane-ness of the evening - upon leaving, we went through the drive-thru and ordered just 'make it bacon'... the drive-thru attendant argued that it wasn't actually a menu item; it is meant as an add-on to say a burger. but then hey, why is it on the menu? isn't the customer always right? can i have a bag of 'free smiles' with my order? we ended up with a big mac box with 9 pieces of bacon. neat story, eh?
