Cold Days, Bacon Nights.

Cold days, bacon nights.

     Recently spent some time making bacon stuff for our junior high students.  We had some chicken wrapped bacon, bacon, and the ever popular chicken bacon weave.  Everything is easy to make in the oven. 

Too. Much. Bacon.

Serve the chicken wrapped bacon with some syrup....you won't be dissapionted!

The weave post oven looked like this.  Slice this bad boy into thin strips for everyone to enjoy!

Happy Plates, yall. 

Shrimpy Isaac

I can only imagine how the shrimp handles the hurricane.  As humans, we can be hard-headed and reluctant to evacuate from the path of danger.  I hope everyone in the storms path is hunkered down and prepared for soon-to-be "Hurricane" Isaac.

A while back I took a week off work and had the opportunity to go down to the gulf for a day with my friend Alyssa.  I attempted to fish but we spent most of the day hanging out and enjoying the breeze.  One the way back we picked up some fresh gulf shrimp to grill up. (I owe her some!)
