I posted this on Yelp, but I'm adding it here too for maximum exposure.
Maybe you've heard me mention it once or twice (or a hundred) times, but I love Guitar Hero and I love me some bacon. Both things are signs of a benevolent supreme being, if you ask me.
Imagine my happiness when it turns out that Lucky's (near Minute Maid Ballpark) has not only Guitar Hero (and Rock Band, which I've been dying to check out) but also Bacon Wrapped Bacon, Italian pancetta wrapped in Canadian bacon wrapped in American hickory smoked bacon with a maple butter sauce. Sounds tasty, huh?
I've heard lots of good things about Lucky's, so let's go and eat some bacon (the rest of their menu looks good too, so I'll be trying more than just bacon) and rock out with Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Be sure to come out and unlock your inner rockstar!
A few days back, I got a really stinky box in the mail. It smelled of hickory smoked goodness. What was inside?
This is for the bacon lovers in my Vox 'hood. Go win some bacon!
If you could eat anything you wanted, and not have to worry about gaining weight/being unhealthy/inhumane, what would you totally pig out on?

Lately, I am obsessed with the hamburgers at Charlie's on West Gray in the Marshall's parking lot. Specifically, I am in love with their blue cheese bacon burger. It is so delicious, especially when you are craving some greasy and good.
Really, since I've been dying for one of these lately, it's all I can think of though it would be better to choose something like chocolate since that's a broader range.
Man, I'm totally going to try and go to Charlie's this weekend. Yum.
Today is National Pig Day which means it's all pig, all day at Serious Eats. Come and pig out with us!
Joe took care of me this Valentine's day, with roses, a gorgeous handmade card, a big box of Burdick's chocolates and dinner--filet mignon with a port cherry sauce, cheesy potato napoleon and two kinds of potstickers; BACON/pea and pork! I made a port stout chocolate mousse for dessert. YUM!
There's a picture of the potstickers in my most recent Project365 batch:
- The potstickers
- VERY tasty chocolate cherry marshmallows that I got for Joe
- Blue lights in our living room
- The fence outside the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
- Trees taken at twilight on our way home from Kittery, ME last weekend
- The contents of my bag (for a Voxhunt I never managed) --you'll see my journal, a book by Umberto Eco, my wallet, smartphone, foldup brush, ipod, usb stick and other miscellaneous crap
- A wall at work
- Twilight over a snowy field in Concord, MA
- Thom Yorke hanging out in my car
Four slices of home-cured bacon ala Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall prepared a week ago, one free range egg, two slices of toasted white bread and a smear of brown sauce.
Ahhhh... Fantastic.
Last Saturday I bought a big slab of Pork belly at my local butcher.
The Recipe could not be simpler!
- Remove the ribs
- Create a cure mix (750g of Salt for 250g of Sugar and 25g of ground black pepper)
- rub some of the mix onto the pork belly
- place in a plastic container
- Leave it for 24h in the fridge
- remove brown liquid
- Rub some cure mix onto the pork belly
- Repeat for 4 days
- Clean and wrap in clean towel / muslin
- Keep refrigerated for up to a month
