Just a quick update that the bacon party was a huge success. Good times were had by all. For more info check out the official blog at http://baconparty.wordpress.com/.

Since I'm in the throes of preparing for my bacon party this week, I believe that as a side effect I'm going to gain about 10 pounds. 5 from sampling my delicacies (translation: eating lots of bacon) and 5 from the party itself (translation: eating more bacon). But really, what's 10 pounds of bacon fat between friends?

Mostly because I <3 Bacon, but also because my sister keeps sending me links to bacon-y delicious foods, I've decided to throw a Bacon Party. This list is really just a brainstorm, and not sure how many of these ideas are going to make the final cut, but here it is for your enjoyment:

• chocolate chip bacon cookies
• bacon candy
• bacon salted popcorn
• bacon wrapped shrimp
• thick sliced bacon
• thin sliced bacon
• butterfly steak w/ bacon in the middle
• bacon chocolate (i.e. dip bacon in melted chocolate - let chocolate harden)
• bacon cheese fondue
• bacon chili
• bacon sushi (raw bacon)
• bacon wrapped mozzarella sticks
• bacon cupcakes
• bacon cheesecake
• ibm breakfast (this was the traditional breakfast that Mike and I ate at IBM. It was a toasted bagel with cheddar cheese and bacon. Yummy.)

I think I need to consult this list as well. And I think I will have to use some bacon salt as a rimmer on some cocktails... unless someone can suggest an alcoholic beverage that could somehow be infused with bacon-y goodness.
