It's Bacon, Baby!



Never in my life have I uttered the phrase, "What the...oh, man...yuck...this has TOO much bacon on it!" I've never even thought it. Which leads me to conclude that there is NO SUCH THING as too much bacon. BLT's, salads, bacon and eggs...I've had it all. As a matter of fact - now that I'm thinking about - the only thought I've ever really had is, "You know...this could really use a little MORE bacon. I didn't quite get enough of it."

My husband makes a delicious salad that has an onion and bacon topping on it. We have to be careful when serving it to friends because some people will simply scrape off the top and put it on their plate, leaving naked lettuce for the rest of us. Very uncouth, I know. But like I said - it has bacon in it and they want MORE. Here is the recipe:

Don's Salad

1-2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped
5 slices raw bacon, chopped into 1/4 inch wide strips
1 onion, chopped
Ranch dressing (Don't buy it ready made. Buy the little pack and put a cup each of milk and mayo. It makes a HUGE difference.)
Cook the bacon in a pan until it is mostly crispy. Throw in the onion and continue cooking until it is soft and transparent. Let the bacon mixture cool a little (so that it doesn't wilt the lettuce). Put your lettuce in a large bowl. Using a slotted spoon sprinkle the onion and bacon mixture on it. If you are feeling particularly cheeky you could crumble some blue cheese on top. Serve it with the Ranch dressing on the side. Prepare to watch your trusted friends and family selfishly scraping the top of your salad onto their plates.


You know who has NICE bacon?? Humor-Blogs, that's who.

omg bex. bacon is my kryptonite. i love it. possibly, the only thing better than bacon is prosciutto, which is really just a fancy italian word for ham.

Bex, don't know if you've seen Jim Gaffigan's routine on bacon but, as a fellow bacon lover, I think you'd enjoy it.

I think I would make a double batch of the bacon and onion topping and let people (mostly me) put it on themselves. So no one bogarts the best part. And I think I'll make it with that thick slab bacon from the Deli.

That recipe makes me want this right now. Damn you, grocery stores that close at 10!!

Leigh - YUM!!! Prosciutto!!! You know what is the friggin' BOMB??! If you take Boursin cheese, put a smear on a piece of prosciutto and then wrap it around an asparagus spear. Grill it or bake it at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes. It's so good you'll want to smack somebody.... BUT, be warned - asparagus makes your pee smell bad. REALLY bad.

Mark jabo - I haven't seen it but I will check it out. Thanks! I'm pretty sure that bacon makes the world go round....

STINKER! What's up with you hating on my Ranch Dressing???!

I know that a big brain like you probably isn't prone to typo's so when I saw your "teh" I took notice. I googled it because I surmised that it was an intentional misspelling. Here is what Wikipedia said, "As slang, grammatical usage of the word teh is somewhat fluid. Besides being an alternate spelling of the, teh also has grammatical properties not generally applied to the; in general, it is used somewhat like an intensified 'the'."

So. Thanks, Stinker, for being the catalyst for me learning something new.

Damon - you sound like my kinda guy. Bacon stuffed bacon. Oh my. Is it getting warm in here....???

Shieldmaiden - The problem is that, although I know how to make the salad, my husband is the one who makes it. And we like it that way. Well...I like it that way. And although he gets grumpy when someone scrapes it all off he NEVER overcompensates for this by making a double batch. I will work on my powers of persuasion.

Bee - I had a feeling about you...we bacon eaters have to stick together.

And The Winner Is...

I have some very exciting news. For the first time ever the Blog of Bex is giving out an award . Yes, I know. I can feel my heart pounding, too. I will call it the Bite My Ass Award (BMAA) and I'm sure it will be coveted. Now you might be wondering just who will be the lucky recipient. Could it be Diesel, the mastermind of Humor-Blogs and Mattress Police , who - for reasons unknown to me - revamped the scoring system and and reset my score to zero? Nope. This action has actually mysteriously seemed to work in my favor. I'm sure it's temporary. ANYWAY, on to the big news. I hereby give my BMAA to this guy: Handsome little fucker, isn't he? His name is James Jackson, IV and his friends call him Jay. I like to call him Fucktard because I believe that your name should say something about the kind of guy you are. And he's a total fucktard. What, you may wonder, did he do to generate such ire from me? Well I'm so glad you asked. He owns two boutiques in suburban At...

Pervy McPervert strikes again!

When I was a kid I used to make the occasional prank call. But then I turned 13 and decided that it was a fairly retarded way to spend ones time. I've also received a few "heavy breathing" calls in my day. My mom finally bought us a whistle and said that whenever "he" called that we were to blow the whistle as loud as we could into the phone. That worked although I do wish she had specified that before blowing the whistle I should take the receiver away from my head as my ear made this weird ringing noise for days afterward. But it got rid of the pervert. It's a new day, however, and perverts must be looking for new ways to annoy us. Twice today someone has texted a picture to me. I have no idea who he is or what the hell he wants. But he must think that I don't know that sometimes shirtless men squeeze their arms against their chest to give the appearance that they actually have biceps when, in fact, their arms really look like toothpicks that are broke...

Protesting at Funerals: A Look at the Deranged and Demented

I normally like to write about funny things. (At least they are things that I find funny.) They are usually attempts to be funny in a ha-ha kind of way, although sometimes I will throw in something that's funny in a weird way, just to shake things up. But what I want to write about now isn't funny at all. It is shocking and horrific. There was a girl from my home town who was murdered at Auburn University last week. Her name was Lauren Burk and she was 18. She went to our local high school and although I didn't know her many of my friends children did. She's being buried today. Her family is, naturally, heartbroken. It was a random, tragic and violent attack. That's really bad enough. My husband drove by the funeral home yesterday and noticed that there was a small army of Harley Davidson riders holding American flags. They appeared to be guarding the memorial service. It turns out that they were asked to be there to protect the family because a group called the We...
