AmyH’s Neighborhood

I was there in spirit! I wish you both a long lifetime of love!

It started off with a twinge yesterday and as of right now, I have a big fucking headache.

It was sometime last year, I think, that I posted a Wade Robson piece (from Dancing With The Stars). Due to the fuckery that is vox tags, I can't find it, but trust me, it was amazing (oh wait, here's a link to it on YouTube). Anyway, last night on So You Think You Can Dance, they featured a piece of his from Chriss Angel's show. The quality of the video is shitty, and it no doubt lost a lot of its impact by being shown on tv, but it's still a pretty amazing piece.

A co-worker passed me this recipe yesterday, so of course, I had to share.  Kindly note, it doesn't just use bacon, it uses a portion of the bacon drippings as well.

Bacon Maple-Caramel Corn with Pecans

3-4 slices bacon
6-8 cups air popped popcorn (about 1/4 cup kernels)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup or corn syrup
2-4 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup pecan pieces or halves (optional)

Preheat oven to 250° F. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer to a plate, crumble into chunky pieces and reserve 1-2 tablespoons of the drippings.

Spray a large bowl with non-stick spray and put the popcorn in it, along with the pecans if you're using them.

Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and reserved bacon drippings in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally, for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. It will foam up at first.

Quickly pour over the popcorn and stir to coat well, adding the reserved bacon. Tongs work really well for this! Spread onto a cookie sheet or roasting pan and bake for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice. Cool.

Makes about 7 cups.

If you're going to do something stupid, like cloning bulldogs, it's often best to consider what stupid things you've done previously, because odds are good that someone, somewhere, will dig them up...

Here, have an eight of spades. It's on me. And you're welcome.

 

You've been warned.
