Global Bacon Shortage
If you have been watching the news or reading the web you already know about the horror of the expected Global Bacon Shortage!!
This time last year it was $15 a can. Now it is $23 a can!!
Oh the Humanity!
If you like your Bug Out Bag to be properly provisioned, you need to get some Tactical Bacon!
Make some room next to your extra ammo, in that backpack, for a can of smokey goodness.

Bacon Marmalade
 |
| It’s meaty/tangy/sweet/spicy fantastically delicious. |
Bacon Marmalade
7 lbs thick-cut bacon2 cups red onion, diced
5 large cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
2 cups raw apple cider vinegar
4 shots espresso
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
"Cut the bacon into small pieces. You’ll need a really big skillet to do this in one batch, or you can use two large skillets side by side. However you do it, 7 pounds is a lot of bacon, and you want to cook it evenly, so dumping it all into a huge roaster or saucepan just won’t do the trick.
Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it’s good and crispy. Drain the grease off and put the bacon aside for a few minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook just until it’s clear, add the vinegar to deglaze the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape all the meaty brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the brown sugar, cayenne and espresso, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything has incorporated. Add the bacon, and simmer over medium heat until thick and syrupy. Don’t cook it too long or you’ll end up with a dry, crusty hard-candy mess. You want it kind of soupy and loose at this point, especially if you’re not going to eat it all right away (and no matter how much you love bacon, you’re not going to eat it all right away – it’s 7 pounds of bacon).
Put the whole mixture into a food processor and pulse gently 3-4 times until it starts to come together, then turn it on and let it blend until it’s the consistency you like. Less time = chunkier marmalade, more time = smoother marmalade. I like mine somewhere in the middle.
There you have it, bacon marmalade. This recipe makes about 2 quarts. It’ll keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. I usually heat mine up before eating, but it’s perfectly good right out of the fridge as well."
--That's right: 7 pounds of bacon AND 4 shots of espresso! I am so doing this! For my next trip to the range!
Add this to your BOB
I bet it is not as cool as mine.
-Bacon makes everything better...
P.S. I have created a new category: Bacon
Chicken Fried Bacon
One day they will try and ban this taste delight. That is when the real trouble will start!

Happy New Year Humans
I'm only slightly hung over. Nothing that bacon
and coffee 
won't put right. Had about twenty people over last night to see how big a dent they could put in the bar. Single malts
were the biggest hit (as usual). With 22 varieties in my collection now, they were highly enjoyed. I was amazed that the Virginia Moonshine
and the German Absinthe
were hit hard.House is now clean, parades have been watched, Archer
on the Tivo 
watched as well. --Time to go to the range!
Northcoast Blogmeet 2010
I had the good fortune to attend the Northcoast Blogmeet.
- The weather was beautiful.
- The company was excellent.
- The food plentiful and nummy.
- The beer was cold.
- Bacon Candy!!
I got to shoot many firearms. These shooters were happy to share.
As much fun as the shooting was, the best part was meeting the people. Heath and Amanda were excellent hosts. Thanks for letting us invade your home! (invade is an understatement) It was great hanging out with Breda, Mike, JayG, TBolt , Newbius and everyone!
