It is Cabin Boy the Younger's 15th Birthday today and I have been busy making Horseradish Potato Salad, Martha Stewart's Mac & Cheese, and Ultimate Cheater Pulled Pork with a homemade Midwestern BBQ Sauce. Should be a tasty celebration.

Thank you to everyone who made a contribution this month. You people are so generous. I will be out for much of the evening. If you like the site and haven't made a contribution, please consider lending some support to our efforts here. Thank you so much.

Got any good recipes to share?

No recipe here but I do have a comment.  Just watched the second half of Glenn Beck show with massa and it was quite funny, Massa really dug himself some holes but didn't give Glenn what he wanted.  GB ended the show saying he had wasted the viewers time, imagine that I don't expect he has ever said that before.
Massa did point a few fingers at Glenn for calling Americans names,(you know like socialist, commie), Glenn said he never did that.
Massa pulled back "he was pushed out", took responsibility.  Then the next minute said he was whipped everyway from Sunday by whips in congress and all the way down the  chain of lesser whips.
He made a Rahmn joke which neither I nor GB got that it was a joke...He said Sorry about saying Rahmn would tie his grandmother or whatever to a truck, said he wouldn't do that, but he would tie Massa's kids to one, ha ha, that was really funny.  He had to tell GB it was sarcastic, yeah like that's what it was.
Over on WP earlier the crazies were really out today posting neg. things of course and lots of innuendo's about Dems and sex.

Candied Bacon-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
adapted from The Great Book of Chocolate

Ingredients:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks (Chips are fine.)
1 cup Candied Bacon Bits (recipe follows)

Directions:

  1.  Preheat oven to 325F. Line three baking sheets with a Silpat liner or parchment paper.

  2.  Beat the sugars and butter together until smooth. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and baking soda.  Whisk together the flour and salt, then sift them into the batter.  Stir in the chocolate chunks and bacon bits.

  3. Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, scoop the cookie dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and place them 2 inches apart on each of the baking sheets.

  4.  Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until pale golden brown. Rotate sheets halfway through baking for even browning. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

The cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days, if they last that long!

Makes about 3 dozen 2-inch cookies.

Candied Bacon Bits
adapted from David Lebovitz

Ingredients:

8 strips bacon
1/2 cup light brown sugar

Directions:

  1.  Preheat oven to 400F.

  2. Lay the strips of bacon on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, shiny side down.

  3. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar evenly over each strip of bacon.

  4. Bake for about 15 minutes. Midway during baking, flip the bacon strips over and drag them through the dark, syrupy liquid that's collected on the baking sheet.  Add the rest of the brown sugar and continue to bake until a deep mahogany color. Remove from oven and cool the strips on a wire rack.

  5. Once crisp and cooled, chop into little pieces, about the size of grains of rice.

Candied bacon bits can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for a day or so, or stored in the freezer a few weeks ahead.

Going from memory:

1 1/4 pounds lean turkey
1 egg
1/4 c. BBQ sauce
1/4 c. beef broth
1/2 chopped onion (medium)
2-4 minced garlic cloves, depending on your love of garlic.
1/4 c. ground flax seed
1/2 c. bread crumbs

Mix all ingredients together and press into an ungreased loaf pan. Top the loaf with another 1/2 c. of the BBQ sauce. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Easy, and perfect every time.

Btw - the last time I made this I chopped in a jalapeno. Next time I'll add a few of its seeds as well - wasn't very hot! ;-)

We've been eating lots of nummy Thai food, especially soups, for the last few days, but Imogen's been the chef in that department so sorry, no recipes.
