I know, I know… wrong day, wrong month, wrong season. But this isn’t about Halloween.
I saw this photo today on a social site, and as my tummy was growling, I was reading the comments on it.
First of all, ZOMGYUMMY!!!! But secondly, just how is it done?
Well, most of my foodie friends have figured it out. But not the commenters at the photo. They kept asking if one presses the uncooked bacon in a muffin pan and bake. Close, but using this is much simpler:
Invert the custard cup upside down, and wrap the bacon around it. Then bake until done, and you have a beautiful little bacon bowl. You can do this with pie crust and phyllo pastry, too. And it makes you look like some big time gourmet!
Can this Sith cook, or can’t she??

Bacon bowls! You could do the same thing in order to make something like a Bacon Crust for a quiche or other casserole! This is the ultimate in cooking tips!

I had really wanted to buy sausage casings and build a little scaffold by tying little lashings all over toothpicks and then wrap the bacon around those. Very engineer-ey.
But I guess the inverted cup thing would work, too.
I love how the three pieces of lettuce really sex it up nutrition-wise. I should be able to eat these every day. (Yay me!)
Last week, right Ag?

You sounded like Dr. Carol Marcus, in The Wrath of Khan.

MMMMMM…BACON. *drools onto keyboard
Fortutiously, I just picked up bacon at the market yesterday! Must have had a premonition. 😛

Should be filled with sausage, or a nice thick chili…whats with the green stuff? My philosophy is that if you want to efficiently get the nutrients out of leafy greens, eat a rabbit. Or a cow. They’ve already processed out the stuff your body doesn’t need.

That comment just got used as my blog’s tagline (you were credited RA). If you don’t want it displayed, let me know, but for the record that was pure gold. Nutrients, greens, and eating a rabbit… poetry.
I am in awe of the brainpower evident in that offhand remark.

Rabid Alien is one of the good guys 🙂

*sniff* Thanks! That…actually means quite a lot to me.
And I can’t say that I came up with the line about the cows/rabbits. I overheard someone else say something along those lines, and have used it ever since. I also like the one that says “I eat vegan! Cows are vegan. So are chickens. Yep…I eat vegans!” (this should be on a Tshirt somewhere!)

I should tweet that.
I did!

Love the bacon bowl, but what’s that green stuff inside of it????

Decoration 😉

Ahhh! Sure seems like a lot of it. I thought you were only supposed to put a small sprig on top of your steak!
