Weekend Cooking...Can You Have Too Much Bacon?


Yes, peanut brittle, flavored with bacon.
Interesting.
But actually rather tasty.


You may have noticed...or not...that I was missing the last week.
I took a rather last minute, unplanned trip, and bad blogger that I am, I left my wee blog unprepared. No posts scheduled except my Wordless Wednesday. Worse, I read nothing while I was gone. Took a book...never opened it. Bought a few books...because you know I am in desperate need of more books...lol
But found very nice bookstores.
I was out in Eastern Long Island, a quick trip through the Hamptons on the way to Montauk Point Lighthouse, then up to the north point of LI the next day, took the ferry to New London, drove to Cape Cod and ferried over for several days on Nantucket. Not much in the way of good food for me..that is another story...but some great pictures in the coming weeks...and weeks..of Wordless Wednesdays.
And some great lighthouses!
Ok, this had little to do with food, except that snack with bacon. But...I was away!



This is my contribution this to this week's Weekend Cooking.

  1. Too funny! I love the pig nose on Bacon.

    I cannot wait to see your new photos.

    And being active and taking photos and seeing new things is wonderful -- no guilt for not reading.

  6. Lighthouses? Did you say Lighthouses? and Cape Cod? and Nantucket? How can bacon compare, and there will always be books...so you are so lucky you had that time away. Can't wait for more pictures and some 'chat' about the trip.

    And oh yes......bacon is Good.

  9. Little jealous of the trip there Caite. Life is too short, so run away and see lighthouses as often as you can. Don't worry about us slobs. And to answer the question, NO, you cannot get enough bacon!
