Not sure what you're seeing? Oh, it's a small newborn baby sized mound of sausage, bacon, and bbq sauce. Sounds heavenly, right?
This past Sunday was The Hunk's birthday. His best friend brought him a Bacon Explosion for his birthday. We couldn't believe our eyes. It was true and we didn't even have to make it. But if YOU want to, the recipe is at http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/
We made plans to cook the Bacon Explosion the following night. I'm fairly certain that The Hunk dreamed about the night ahead, much like children dream about Santa's visit the night before Christmas. I, on the other hand, was scared.
As Monday night arrived, the whole family got ready to experience the Bacon Explosion, even 'Lil Bit!
Don't worry, no babies were harmed in this experiment. That is pureed green beans all over her face, not bacon grease. HA!
If you're not completely wrapped up in the moment like we were, take a look at this "classic" father-daughter moment:
Yes, The Hunk wanted a picture with his daughter and the newborn baby sized mound of meat. How much more manly can ya get?!
As the Bacon Explosion was warming in the oven (it comes pre-smoked), Cool Asian Guy arrived. We waited and waited, antsy with anticipation. Finally, it was time.
Don't they look excited?
CAG (Cool Asian Guy) was given the task of carving up the roll of bacon-y splendor.
This is the inside of the Bacon Explosion:
Birthday Boy, aka The Hunk, took the first bite:
By now you're all wondering, "So how was it?" Imagine biting into a greasy block of salt. Oh it was not good, and about halfway into the slice, I was breaking out into a sweat. Maybe my heart was about to stop? Maybe my blood pressure was going haywire due to all the sodium? MAYBE BOTH!
Despite the fact that it really wasn't as decadent as we had all imagined, I'm glad we got to experience such a novelty. We had a ton of fun and laughed until our stomachs hurt...or was that another explosion?
Until next time,
-MFW
