Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'

And bacon was the last thing I gave up when going vegetarian! I love when an otherwise very plain, humble recipe — one that would probably be dull — has a few strips of crumbled bacon in it and all of a sudden people are saying how FABULOUS it is. Bacon improves nearly everything!

The Nasty Bits: Pig's Ears Two Ways

You know, Chichi. I am never, ever going to eat a single thing you talk about in this column. I'm just not an offal person, but you make me wish I were.

I look forward to this column and read every word each time you post. You make gizzards and pig's ears fascinating, which I would have never thought possible. The photography is also outstanding, showcasing each column's "nasty bits" in an entirely honest, unadorned, yet at the same time beautiful way.

Dinner Tonight: Tuna Melt

Dude. I thought I was the only one! Except mine is tuna salad made kind of like NotAmerican said, only without onions (blech) and adding some fresh herbs in summer. Not swiss, cheddar (no Pepsi, Coke). Under the broiler for like 30 seconds.

Saveur says not to let the cheese brown? Pray tell, Saveur, how the cheese is ever going to brown under a broiler before the bread is also burnt to a black carbony crisp? That's right, never.

Oh, and it has to start on lightly toasted bread.

Also, it appears there are steps here. Specifically, steps 2, 3, and 4. Is there a 1? Could be I'm just dense. I have that problem sometimes.

Healthy & Delicious: Blueberry Salsa

Blueberries are coming up still here in Michigan, so I'm thrilled to have run across this beforehand. Once the blueberry pie blueberry crisp blueberries in a bowl with sugar blueberries out your ears ferver passes, then (sometimes) I want to try neat things.

I bet it will be awesome with grilled whitefish.

I love almost burned bacon because of the crispiness and saltiness. It also goes soooo well with over-easy eggs and buttered toast. It's so perfect!

I love bacon because I can have it the first thing in the morning, at lunch on a BLT and at dinner in a salad or in one of my wife's delicious creations.

let's be serious .... it's the fat content. Any food that is virtually 100% fat is going to test awesome and it does

It's unapologetically sexy when it beckons you from the dimly lit kitchen in the evening... and just as sexy the next morning. I never regret waking up to bacon.

Because I reminds me of summer vacation mornings when I was a kid at my grandfather's lodge in Vermont. With pancakes and real vermont maple syurp.
