Bacon Candy Love


Here's how you do it!!
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a baking sheet: line with foil, go up and over the edges of the pan with the foil. You will thank me when you are done if you carefully do this!
Take a pound, +/-, of good, dry cured, thick cut bacon, separate the slices and tuck them against, but not on top of, each other to fill up the pan.
Get out your jar of honey. Drizzle the honey thickly over each slice of bacon.
Now, grind pepper heavily over the bacon.
Place the pan in the oven.
After 10 minutes, carefully slide the pan out of the oven, turn the bacon over, (just leave the melted fat in the pan - it will help fry the bacon better!)and again with the honey and ground pepper over all.
Put it all in the oven again - maybe 10 minutes later, check it. (it should be smelling like a heavenly fat-sweet-spicey something!)I often leave it in for another 2-3 minutes. When it's "done" it will not be stiff and crunchy, but rather it will be somewhat stiff but not limp... and very caramelized.
Carefully drain just a bit on paper towels.
You can serve this with anything - I prefer it with with nothing but a glass of champagne.
This is Bacon-heaven. Or, maybe my stomach is Bacon-heaven.

Medicare for All should be our goal

" Under the greatest adversity there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others ." ~Dalai Lama And one of Montana's Methodist Ministers, Joan Uda, wrote an editorial for the Great Falls Tribune this week, asking essentially, What would God think of this? Here's a small excerpt: I'm startled by the frenzied opposition to health care reform. Are these good people Christians? Do they recall that Jesus will judge us not by how well we've kept our earnings for ourselves but by how we have cared for "the least of these"? Matthew 25:31-46. This is a matter of salvation. I don't believe God supports any particular solution for health care. But I do believe God wants everyone, even the least, included. And I believe Jesus Christ calls us to display our best Christian virtues in the debate on these issues. Here's George Lakoff's perspective on how language influences the discussion on Health Care policies this seas...

December Doings

It's been a while since I up-dated, mainly because it's the holidays, and we are running about singing at every opportunity, working on Christmas gifts, making pies, catching up with darling daughters and friends, knitting on more gifts, choosing the scotch for the Christmas Athel Brose, admiring the new candlesticks we received as a gift from the Wans ...... it's a good time of year :) * the Scotch choices include this single malt from the area our friends, Peter and Joni live -named after the Spey River near Glasgow! * It finally snowed, first time this year on December 12 th -very late, and instantly went into the negative numbers for degrees..... with wind chill it has been as low as -23! * the Reindeer Games hat is being made for a gift - shhhhhhhhhh !! don't tell :) *Jon's considerable pie making skills were married to Robbin's filling fandango, and we came up with a pie filled with apples, cultured sour cream (+one egg!), walnuts,coconut and lots of fr...

My Husband, My Hero

So, most of you know that Jon and I are "involved" in helping Obama win this very critical election..... Jon, with his gift of "soothing rhetoric" (as Stella calls it) has been canvassing and phone calling voters in Western Montana almost every day for the past month. But this morning, he had a once-in-a-lifetime experience. At her request, Jon drove a 63 year old woman to the courthouse, where she voted (for Obama) for the first time in her life!!! WHY did she want to vote now? Because this time, it was "important".
