Ah, bacon.
About a week and a half ago now, Steve and I were discussing upcoming weekend plans, extending well into April.
Steve: Oh, Poker Night is Saturday.
Me: Which Saturday?
Steve: Start with today, and keep going until you bump into a Saturday. That's Poker Night.
So, this past Saturday was that Poker Night for the boys. Two of the girls and I decide to cook for them. And we decided to wrap as many things in bacon as humanly possible.
Bacon. Sometimes, bacon is the most delicious thing ever in the world. And other times, it wouldn't even occur to me to take any steps towards having bacon on my plate.
It could have gone either way: delicious, or overkill.
We ended up wrapping the following: asparagus, cheese-stuffed jalapenos, hard boiled egg halves, shrimp, and garlic-stuffed cherry tomatoes. And then we breaded (not baconed) zucchini, more shrimp, and more of the cheese-stuffed jalapenos.
All in all, I think it was rather delicious. I also think the girls and I drank more wine than we ate things wrapped in bacon, but it all worked out.
And then I crafted! I spent Saturday baconing and Sunday crafting, and I think it was a pretty fabulous weekend.
