- According to the science section of several news sites on the web, progress is being made in transplanting pig lungs. They're already doing us a service with heart valves...
- Maple Leaf, a Canadian meat packer, has developed the Republic of Bacon, an entertaining website at www.republicofbacon.com. Be sure to read the Gazette and stop by the Red Light District.
In case you were busy over the holidays, you might have missed the new product that came out called Baconpop...yup, bacon popcorn. However, don't be distressed, you can still buy it, or better yet, make some up with this recipe from allrecipes.com. We wish you could make it with Gord's peameal bacon, but it's just too darn lean! You might want to get the okey dokey from your doctor before you make this! :-
1/2 c bacon grease
3/4 c. unpopped popcorn
1/2 t. seasoned salt, or to taste
(optional) 3 T bacon bits, 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Measure the bacon grease into a 6 quart pot and place over high heat. Add one or two popcorn kernels as testers. When the test kernels pop, add the popcorn and cover with a lid. As the popcorn starts to pop, shake back and forth constantly to keep the unpopped kernels on the bottom where they can pop. When the popping slows down, remove the pan from the heat and let it finish popping. Pour the popcorn into a large paper sack (it will ablsorb excess grease) and season. Add bacon bits and cheese if desired.
Happy February! Have a good Valentine's Day and order peameal for your sweetie! Comments are always welcome at Gord's.
