Bacon Blankets

I woke up the other morning to the smell of bacon. Sadly, it wasn’t because someone was downstairs lovingly preparing me breakfast in bed. In fact, that’s never happened and I’m shaking my head about this realization. I gotta get a campaign going…
Actually, the smell of smoked pork fat permeated the house because I cooked a whole heap of bacon the night before and it was still clinging to the air, the walls and nostrils throughout the house. The odor was so strong, my family probably dreamed of bacon all night. But no one seemed to mind, why would they? Bacon is one of life’s greatest pleasures, it’s a succulent treat. It’s chewy, salty, greasy and crunchy.

Even if you’re eating turkey bacon, you’re just choosing a lowfat substitute for… BACON. And this means you love bacon, otherwise, you’d just go eat a turkey sandwich, right? Right.

So for dinner, I wrapped some chicken tenderloins in maple bacon and cooked them on my grill pan. That intense heat sent bacon fumes flying all around the house. I turned on the fan above the stove but it wasn’t strong enough to keep the searing meat from smelling up the place. I got a good sear on the meat too. I love to see grill marks, makes me feel like I know what I’m doing. I served these with some fresh green beans and scalloped potatoes.
