Wordless Wednesday: Rare Moments of Sibling Bliss

Bacon Jam

I came across this recipe and was instantly intrigued.  Bacon Jam.  I was not sure if I was salivating or repulsed.  I thought about it for two weeks and knew that I just had to give it a try.  How can you go wrong with bacon kissed with some maple syrup, bourbon and mixed with caramelized onions?

I picked up some really great thick sliced apple wood smoked bacon.  Good quality bacon is key to this.  The prep work was really easy and before I knew it my house smelled fantastic of bacon and sweet onions.  After an hour of simmering I was ready to run it through the food processor and give this concoction a try.

It was love at first bite!  It was fantastic on our sliders for dinner.  For breakfast we slathered it on waffles and topped with just a bit of maple syrup.  Culinary utopia.  I have so many ideas for this stuff.  Sandwiches, breakfast rolls, stuffed meat.  I can go on and on.  This will become a new staple for football season.  It was so good that Lamar even shared a link to the recipe on his Facebook page.

Now, I did think of taking pictures of this stuff, but they did not come out nearly as well as the pictures on the blog where I found the recipe.  Just go look at those pictures and I will bet you will be on your way out to search for some great bacon and make yourself up a batch of this stuff.

Princess Ballerina Day

Today was the day that Nora Beth had been waiting weeks for.  The annual fundraiser for the Miss Marion Polk Scholarship Pageant.  This year the girls got to make tutu's, take a dance class and finish with a tea party.  A perfect afternoon for Nora Beth.  Her friend Isabel joined us.
