Today, once again according to my west coast brother who knows all, is "International Bacon Day" and also "National Toasted Marshmallow Day." I'm not aware of any recipes that combine bacon and marshmallows but it wouldn't surprise me if there are some.
Bacon is one of the most flexible foods I know of, pun intended. It is an excellent accompaniment to scrambled eggs or pancakes or waffles or omelets. At my grandson's recent wedding we had bacon wrapped dates as part of the buffet supper. They were delicious.
Yesterday evening my spouse and I had fresh green beans for supper. We like to take advantage of fresh local produce when we can. We cooked them with chopped onions, a chopped spicy yellow pepper, garlic salt and, of course, bacon bits. So good. I also love a good bacon, tomato and mayo sandwich (no lettuce). One of our favorite local diners, Klemm's Candlelight Cafe, serves amazing bacon cheese burgers. I get mine with tomato and mayo, again no lettuce.
Happily Klemm's closes at 2:00pm so I'm not tempted to make a late night run there. But if I keep mentioning them I bet my spouse, who reads my blog, will take me there someday this coming week, for lunch - the aforementioned burger or brunch - a bacon and cheese omelet. Either way it's a win-win.
Just out of curiosity I Googled bacon marshmallow recipes. Here's what I found: bacon wrapped marshmallows. That's it. I think I'll keep my bacon and marshmallows separate, thank you. Humm, hot chocolate with marshmallows might make a sweet bedtime snack. Good night.
