Preparation duration: 5 minutes

Cooking duration: 15 minutes

 

Ingredients:

4 slices thickly sliced applewood smoked bacon

1/4 teaspoon Bourbon Smoked Paprika

2 Tablespoons Pure Kentucky Sorghum

Equipment:

whisk

oven

frying pan

paper towels

aluminum foil

wire rack

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Blend the sorghum with the paprika in a small dish with a whisk and set aside.2. Cook bacon slices in a large skillet until the meat begins to brown slightly and the fat is still not cooked all the way through (you do not want the bacon to be fully cooked since it will cook further in the oven). Use a bacon press to keep the bacon slices flat, if you have one. Remove the bacon. Drain on paper towels, patting the excess fat.3. Place an oiled wire rack on top of a pan that has been lined with aluminum foil (this will allow for an easier clean-up). Place the bacon slices on the rack and brush both sides with the glaze. Place in preheated oven and cook for about seven to ten minutes, checking after seven minutes. You don't want the bacon to brown too quickly. 4. Before the bacon becomes completely brown and cooked, remove the pan and baste each slice again with the glaze, on both sides. Return to the oven and cook for another two to four minutes. Again, check to be sure the bacon is not browning too quickly. The sugar in the sorghum can quickly cause the bacon to burn.5. Remove from the oven and let the bacon sit until it cools. It will harden and crisp up as it cools. Use in recipes, as desired.

Food Joke

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
