[The Bacon Junkie]

I wish i could understand the whole bacon thing. I thought i knew what it meant, but it seems to mean a few things here.

Bacon = The Best Thing Ever

So if someone puts a  in association with a post, it means they really really like it.

It's a step or two above  or 

Probably on par with  or  , but I'm still giving the edge over all to  .

Of course I tend to be a bit biased... 

Another way the  symbol is used by me is when I put it at the end of one of my posts.  I use it sort of like signing my name,  'cuz after all, I am the Bacon Junkie.

That has to be the best answer to a question ever!!!   I got it, its what I thought then some used it to replace chicken strips on tires...Oh well. I usally would give you one of these but since you are THE junkie I will give you 2 !!!!!!!

Bacon could NEVER be used as a replacement for chicken strips, seeing as chicken strips tend to be not a good thing and bacon is the best thing ever.  (see my post)   


Thanks for the  .  For the record, I won't turn down  either!

Thanks Lu! (I assume this was aimed at me?)  

I got lost in the spaetzl and ploughman's, so here ya go...

Bacon Brownie Cupcakes
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 oz sweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
8 T butter
1 1/2 C sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 C AP Flour
2 T cocoa (not Dutch-processed)
6 strips bacon
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a standard muffin pan (we like to use the jumbo but don't recommend mini, they'll get to crispy).
Fry the bacon, remove and pat dry. Reserve your grease for later cooking.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a double broiler. Cool slightly, then whisk in the sugar and salt. Add the eggs, one at a time. Sift the flour and cocoa together, then combine with the chocolate. Stir in the pieces of bacon and chocolate.
Bake ~30 min., making sure to allow brownie cupcakes to cool before removing.
