Nope. I put a rack inside of a cookie sheet and lay it out. Cooks perfectly everytime with little clean up and if you do the save the grease for other stuff thing it's an awsomely easy way to do that too. Every so often prior to laying out the strips I press them into brown sugar and then cook it. Bacon candy basically. Oh my god. SO GOOD. Now I want breakfast for dinner.
Now I know there are many here that hate him but Guy made this recently: Bacon Wrapped Pork Kabobs Ingredients: Brine: 1 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 2 bay leaves 4 sprigs fresh thyme 3 garlic cloves, smashed 4 cups ice cubes Pork: 16 to 20-ounce trimmed pork tenderloin or pork loin, cut into 24 1-inch cubes 1 pound whole slab apple-wood smoked bacon, chilled 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 1 tablespoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon paprika 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Canola oil, for brushing grill Orange Honey Mustard Sauce, recipe follows Orange Honey Mustard Sauce: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small shallot, finely diced 1 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons orange blossom honey 1/4 cup country Dijon mustard Directions: Pork: Special equipment: six 8-inch metal skewers For the brine: Combine salt, sugar, bay leaves, thyme, and garlic in a pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and once everything has dissolved remove from heat. Add ice cubes to cool down and set aside. For the pork: Place the pork cubes in the cooled brine and set in the fridge for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into six 1/2-inch-thick slices, about 2 1/2-ounces each. Set a large pot of cold water over high heat and add the bacon slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Drain pork from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Working with one skewer at a time, thread the bacon at one end followed by a piece of pork. Loop the bacon over the pork so it forms an "S" shape around the pork and continue to thread the bacon and pork together so each skewer has 4 pieces of pork and one thick strip of bacon on it. Sprinkle all with the seasoning mixture. Heat a grill to medium and wipe down grates with oil. Place pork kebabs across grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each of four sides until bacon is crisped around edges and pork is a tender medium. Once the pieces have been seared, glaze the kebabs with the Orange Honey Mustard. Orange Honey Mustard Sauce: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and saute until softened. Add the orange juice, honey and mustard, whisking to thoroughly combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir well, remove from heat, and keep warm until ready to use.
Yea, electric fences don't have electricity flowing through them 100% of the time. It is something like 1 second on, 1 second off.
I don't know and I don't want to know. My knowledge of this comes from this, which I believe I found on deadspin a while ago. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/14/d...tchen-bar-in-times-square.html?pagewanted=all
Mmmmm, bacon I used to work at a restaurant when I lived in Vail CO. It was a cafeteria up on the mountain, that had all sorts of food options. The bake shop oven was the best place to make a big sheet of bacon every morning. Whoever took it out would get attacked all the back to the prep area with employees yanking pieces off as it came by. I think about half the tray would get eaten.
Really? You went with a link? I figured somebody was going to say "Close the door, turn down the lights, slip off you dress and I'll show you."
News article about the dog attack I mentioned in R&R earlier: <a class="postlink" href="http://globalnews.ca/news/1466753/exclusive-west-kelowna-girl-attacked-by-bulldog/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://globalnews.ca/news/1466753/exclu ... y-bulldog/</a>
This parody of his restaurant menu could be one of the funniest things that happened last year: <a class="postlink" href="http://guysamericankitchenandbar.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://guysamericankitchenandbar.com/</a> Bonus points for buying that URL. That's a freaky story, I'm glad she's okay.
God. Touching one of those things feels like somebody kicked your soul in the balls. Why anybody would WILLINGLY slap a hotwire I have no idea, they're made to keep 1000+ lb animals at bay.
I used to do that back in the day, the farmers around my area had them set so they would send out 2 "warning" pulses and then the knock you on your ass pulse. The first 2 would be tolerable, the third you couldn't do anything but curl up into a ball.
Um, **raises hand**, sigh, I did it once. I was probably around 14 and my friend's house backed up to a farm. We were in her backyard and she said something like, "go ahead, touch it." Sounds like a dare to me! I run my finger along it back and forth and start saying, "hey, I don't think it's wor....blahhdahlfdhald". I felt that through my whole damn body. My friend thought it was funny. Bitch.
Getting zapped is a horrible, indescribable feeling. It's not so much of the pain as the feeling that every cell in your body was gang-raped at once. You NEVER forget it.
Aren't you always supposed to test a live wire with the BACK of your hand? Because your body's natural reaction to electrocution is to clench your muscles, resulting in a fist?
Well, no fists were made. I do believe I flung myself violently away and then curled into a ball until my body stopped vibrating, while cursing my friend to hell.
Everyone needs to experience a decent electric shock once in their lives. I feel like it is a bonding experience. I think I was fucking with something plugged in while I was like 9 or 10 and I got buzzed. It was a good 2 second shock, my brother saw me and laughed his ass off as I shivered on the floor for 10 minutes. I experienced an odd feeling of really hot then really, really cool.
