Bacon
Balsamic vinegar
Frank’s Red Hot
I’m sure I didn’t invent this, but I made brussels sprouts and bacon the other day and then I had vinegar and Red Hot with it - and it was enjoyable. But then at the bottom I got overdone bacon pieces that were soaked with vinegar and Red Hot, and it was like JACKPOT.
This evening, to reward myself for not having a heart attack today, I am feeding myself bacon. If this is ironic, I don’t even know anymore… there was that scene in Reality Bites where Winona Ryder has to tell a boss the definition of irony while an elevator door is closing in a last ditch effort to get a job, perhaps she could describe this situation and still not get that job.
Anyway: Make bacon on the stove, or bake it in the oven, I don’t care, but make sure it is way crispy and kind of burned, and not just soaking in its own fat. Blot on an old paper bag, or whatever, and then pour vinegar and Red Hot on the bacon, and even break it into little pieces if you want. It’s not hard, but just please eat it.
