Another bacon thread?...Ooookaaaayyy.

It is nice to know that in this age of health concerns, an over weight population complicating health issues and running up national healthcare costs, that cooks across the country are taking fattening deserts and adding heart missiles to them in an effort to make matters even worst. In case you can't tell I am not a fan of the current trend of mixing sweet and savory. The original for this was started Venice back about 600 AD. and lasted until about 1500s in the northern European counties, but then lacking refined sugar, their sweet was not as sweet now.

Meat loaf/Mac & Cheese for lunch today! Yumm!

Thanks, Debbie Downer Steve. Now I have something to add to my list of things I'm thankful for - you're not coming to my house for Thanksgiving dinner. Luckily, Amorette has enough sense of humor for both of you.

Good lord Steve.

Rule 1: We all will die of something.

Rule 2: The "bacon police", like Steveo here, can't change Rule 1.

Rule 3: We should make every effort to die happy.

Don't invite Steve to your Thanksgiving dinner. He's in a mood.

I couldn't agree more.

Steve,

I have a fantastic cookie recipe that uses spinach as a filling. I bet it could change your mind about that savory-sweet thing.

Hay, I like bacon! I can't eat as much of it as I use to with incurring the wrath of my doctor, but I like it. My point was this is how schizophrenic our society has become. Half of it is telling you 'don't eat anything with flavor, fat or any other tasty qualities' and the other half is promoting all these supper fat, supper salty, cholesterol ladened dish as the new must eat dishes. Why can't these people work on the new tasty healthy dishes? It is harder to make work but it is possible.

My point was this is how schizophrenic our society has become.

This isn't new. Just survey so-called women's magazines going back to at least the 50s and 60s and you'll find covers advertising the latest diet craze superimposed over photos of luscious chocolate cake.

Thats just gross Wendy. When vegetables become an accepted ingredient in cookies, then the terrorists have won. What better way to bring down a society than to destroy there snack foods?

Matt,

I'll send you the recipe.

The facts are that cookie judges Jean Freese and Gayle Muggli selected ketchup-raisin cookies as a prize winner in the Signal Butte 4-H club Cookie Cook-off.

I'm more than a little concerned about the mental well being of anyone that could conceive an idea as henious as ketchup in cookies. Then to actually try it? And then enter it in a contest? I'm gonna stop now, because I just threw up a little.

That was the only entry that won me a Cookie Cook-off wooden spoon!

My spinach cookies are a traditional Italian cookie from the Emilia-Romagna region. Now, granted that region's cuisine was influenced heavily by trade from the Middle East so maybe Matt's not far off the mark.

Wendy if you can get Giada to make them for me, I'm willing to give them a try! Heck I might even have 2 or 3 at that point. Gotta love those Italians

Giardia doesn't have the cooking skills to make these cookies but I suspect you don't really care about the cookies.

To continue the holiday theme....what is Christmas without the bacon nativity scene?

I just consumed a package of bacon, then fried eggs in its grease. Since its the season of sharing, I wanted to share my happy story with milescity.com
