Try using pancetta rather than Canadian bacon for Eggs Benedict. You'll never go back.

Um... what do I NOT add it to?

I made pancake-flavored ice cream with candied bacon clusters- I infused the cream with maple syrup and cooked strips of bacon. To die for. Also did a smoky bacon crust for a super dark chocolate cake that was surprisingly amazing. I thought it might be gross but it was fantastic.

I'm trying the Bacon Burger this week- I think I will do 1/2 ground bacon, 1/2 ground sirloin!

Girl Scout Troops receive more than .25. The norm is .50 per box goes to the troop and they have opportunities for making more. Then another $2.00 or more goes to the Council and this money goes into creating great opportunities for the girls. There are camps and program and more depending on the area. Be assured when you purchase Girl Scout Cookies 80% goes toward Girl Scout activities. Of course a donation is always appreciated. My daughter has sold cookies for 8 years and she has learned so much from the activity. Of course SHE sold the cookies, Girls do not learn too much if parents sell and deliver them. Remember they are great from the freezer in the middle of Summer.

Did you know that the $3.50 box of cookies you buy to help support the Girl Scouts only gives 25 cents to the Girl Scouts? (As of 3/1/2004)Hopefully, you are ordering the cookies for your own craving (as I do) and not for the notion that you are helping the local chapter. I personally order 1 box of trefoils and 1 box of thin mints then give the girls a $5 donation. They deserve to receive more of the profit for all the selling they do.

Rational?

Oh, Lauren... that's excellent! I vote for your suggestion.

Picky meat-ers?

My swedish aunt make a wonderfully simple stir fry. She renders bacon and minced onions in a large sautee pan and stirs in the freshest summer yellow string beans for the last few minutes of cooking. It is simply divine. BTW I have know idea if this is swedish in any. Of course a top comfort meal of mine is scrambled eggs with bacon mixed in, buttered toast and chocolate milk.

Free food??!!!! WHERE!!!!!?????

I'd just call them "friend," and welcome them back into the fold!
