Bacon Explosion

The Superbowl is quite the challenge. Particularly for people who are about a month into resolutions to take better care of their bodies. And it's made all that much worse when the New York Times features a recipe for something called Bacon Explosion on the front page a couple days beforehand.

Well, it's been more than a week since the Superbowl, and I now feel that enough time has passed to confront what was a woven blanket of bacon smothered in barbecue rub and sauce, covered in a layer of sausage and sprinkled with fried bacon rolled up into a loaf slathered with more rub and sauce and served in pinwheel slices.

Here's a video of my sister making one "from weaving to eating":


I hardly had it in me to eat my slice after all the snacking that took place beforehand: a vegetable board (rectangle pizza), guacamole, chicken fingers, wait, was that it? how is that possible?

anyway, the bacon explosion was not nearly as crispy as i had imagined it -- something i imagine would be at least somewhat remedied by sticking it on a grill instead of an oven. also, it took for-e-ver. something like 3 hours. hmmm.

in the video, i think you can hear my mom suggesting the addition of something healthy like spinach to the middle next time...

that might make it better, but certainly not baconier. fail.

now my goal is to transform this post into something i can stick on my work blog on digital business trends...hmmm...
