<p>Yea, I’m almost embarrassed to say that we’ve made the Bacon Explosion. Very intense! And very good. It doesn’t take much to fill you up.</p>
<p>I was looking in the thinkgeek catalog today and saw tons of bacon stuff. Not sure why. </p>

<p>ThinkGeek - they have the bacon salt, also Baconnaise, and caffeinated bacon lollipops.
Also tactical bacon, bacon mints …</p>
<p>I bet something already exists, but bacon in a bloody mary might be a pretty tasty cocktail…</p>
<p>rumaki (the Luau of Beverly Hills): waterchestnuts, chicken liver, bacon, soy sauce.</p>
<p>take one waterchestnut with a piece of chicken liver. wrap bacon around each one water chestnut and the liver (generally 1/2 per appitizer). secure with a toothpick. deep fry until bacon is cooked. serve with soy sauce (as a dip)…probably teriyaki sauce would work…</p>
<p>oh the fat…oh the cholesterol…and oh, the memories.</p>
<p>
Jealous. :)</p>
<p>I don’t have a smoker… I wonder if you can just cook it in the oven at a low temperature.</p>
<p>Not only do we have a smoker, but we have the cadillac of smokers, The Big Green Egg. Basically foolproof and everything turns out fantastic.</p>
<p>Many of our friends put a strip of crispy bacon in bloody marys. Doesn’t work for me, but I love my bacon straight.</p>
<p>My son’s motto is “anything that’s good to eat is better with bacon–and excellent with pancetta.”</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the Thinkgeek suggestion! I’ve never heard of this site so I visited it, and it has PERFECT gifts for my geeky D! You guys have made my Christmas shopping for her that much easier!</p>
<p>Love, love, love Thinkgeek! I don’t know what we would do without it.</p>
<p>There is an awesome beer with juice added to it. Even my H. who hates beer, loves this one. Well, it is expensive - about $10 / bootle that looks like champaign bottle. I discovered that adding pomegranate (or most likely any) juice to your favorite beer (mine is Bud Light) works just as well. I do not know if it qualifies for cocktail, but I am not fan of mixed drinks at all, so I definitely would prefer my Bud Light with Pomegranate juice. I absolutely hate bacon, have to pick it out if it is added to salad or other dish, so no help here.</p>
<p>English bacon is better than what we have over here.</p>
<p>Just cause I know you’re dying to know…:)</p>
<p>Bought the bacon vodka and it was a MAJOR hit!!! He was totally surprised and had heard of it, but never tried it. I was able to go to the product website and print off loads of cocktail recipes to get him started…
