Great Date Part 4: Bacon

Okay so maybe every date does not include bacon…but maybe it should.  My girlfriend and I had a delightful date of bacon last night and it went a little something like this:

Step one: I stopped by the Whole Foods on the way home from work & bought 1 lb of thick-cut country bacon.  YUM!

Step two: I brought home the bacon and fried it up in the pan — Peggy Lee styles.

Step three: Prepare the different flavors of bacon:

• Vanilla ~ chopped bacon in vanilla ice cream (the low-carb variety works just as well)
• Chocolate ~ dip your strips in dark chocolate, let them cool and dry. TO DIE FOR
• Orange glaze ~ one part orange juice, one part sugar, cook & reduce, cover the strips–De-lish
• PEANUT ~ cook one piece extra crispy & dip it in peanut butter, tres decadent
• Maple ~ dip one in maple syrup for old times’ sake.  Your senses will thank you.
• Old Fashioned ~ leave one plain, salty, supple, and warm.  Enjoy.

Blind-fold your lady and ask her to describe each delicacy.  Ask her to use emotional, visceral descriptors.  Let the evening take you where it may

Happy Eating, Butches.
