It’s got groove it’s got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling…

Yes sir, over the last few days I have been reading a lot about bacon grease.  It was used to infuse an Old Fashioned, there was an ode to it’s virtue, I’ve seen it in several new recipes that I am considering for posting and EVEN for use in making bacon soap (more on that tomorrow).

That got me thinking…and that’s never a good thing…how should I go about trying to make some of these things while not keeping an old can of grease in the house (which would surely gross out and disturb Better Half)?

The answer, I think, courtesy of the Interwebs – Filter Chef! [Read more →]

So I was leaving the house this morning and it hit me…I promised that I was going to try the Bacon Salt yesterday.

I didn’t.

I am so absent minded in my new fatherhood and old age!  By the time we got Lil’ Baird to bed, then made and ate dinner, I was settled in the couch catching up on magazines and the DVR.

That got me to thinking…what else have I talked about recently that I haven’t yet followed up on?

The start of the list looks like this:

• Trying Bacon Salt
• Review of the pre-cooked, packaged bacon that Better Half bought
• Starting the “BLT from Scratch Challenge” by actually getting started!
• Posting the bacon swag I recently received
• Photos and review from breakfast at “Original Pancake House” in Chicago
• Photos and video from trip to Moab, UT with TOMCAR
• Getting to the butcher for some bacon to make for “Makin’ Bacon” reviews
• Making ANYTHING for the “Test Kitchen” segment I was going to start

Now, I know that my ten’s of readers aren’t sitting on pins and needles waiting for this stuff.  In fact, you probably don’t even care (and I don’t blame you one bit).  But it just chaps my rear end that I’m not following through.  If I said previously that I would post something or write something or eat something then darn it all to H-E-double hockey sticks, I should do it.  Even though I am actually amazed that after six months, I’m still posting almost everyday, I need to develop better habits if I want this site to continue.

So my promise, no my VOW to you is to get through this list by the end of the weekend.  If I don’t live up to said promise, then I will buy and eat fake bacon…and I DO NOT want to do that!!
