I have to make bacon, I have a new camera.
They take a long time to prepare (but you can freeze the dough, then thaw and rise overnight) but it's worth it for layers and layers of flakey pastry and butter - Croissants.
The bacon is from Beef Mart in Valporaiso, Indiana, my favorite butcher shop, ever.

SitRep, 06/06/14 - 06/06/14:
ReplyDelete0830 - Leave SW Chicago Suburbs for Noblesville, IN 1/2 hour late. Drive at approximately Warp 6 to get to Noblesville on time.
1200 - Arrive at brother's house. Greet nephew whose matrimonial rites will be conducted in two weekends. Fortify troops for upcoming action.
1230 - Arrive at White River Canoe Rental. Rent 6 canoes and a kayak.
1245 - Arrive at put-in point. Informed we should arrive at take-out point in 2.5 to 3.0 hours of paddling.
1250 - Load cigarettes, cigars, 8 coolers of beer and whiskey, fishing gear and all other essentials into canoes. Also bring paddles.
0100 - Put into river. Lash canoes and kayak together. Mass consumption of consumables starts immediately. Desultory attempts at fishing occasionally break out. Paddles used to fend off snags.
0230 & 0400 - Raft is broken up and landed in order that troops can maintain electrolyte balance. Personally assisted two canoes that were non-members of group to land at our site. My purpose in doing so was ascribed to courtesy but was in fact actually to enable appreciation of the great improvement in the scenery that the members of that group afforded. Was rewarded with supplies of beverages.
0530 - Land raft (with some struggles due to degradation of some troop's navigational capacities). Load troops into transport with driver who is non-participant in the action.
0600 - Arrive at 's house. Pizza and chilled and tapped keg are already present. Poker tourney commences. Nephew, in whose honor the action is conducted, is not required to chip in. Prizes are $100, $40 and $20, with the 1st place winner required to fund lap dance for nephew.
0900 - Pizza consumed. Keg 3/4 empty. Nephew places 3rd, so is $20 ahead. In interests of time, 1st and 2nd place money is split between the last two men standing. By popular acclamation, both are each required to fund lap dance for nephew.
1000 - Arrival at Rathskeller. Establishment's beer supply is tested for quality by all troops present. Bunny Brothers playing mid-set in bandshell, do fine job.
1100 - Bunny Brothers' set ends. Troops load up in band, minus one casualty.
1115 - Proceed to Howl At The Moon. Line out the door, would normally be futile to attempt entry. Nephew used to manage the place. Nephew performs reconnisance; deserves decoration for even being able to walk at this point, never mind speak coherently. Nephew finds General Manager/old buddy standing outside. Entire group immediately performs flanking manuever and enters via back door.
1120 - Place is absolutely packed. Female:male::2:1. Two pianos plus drummer going loud and strong. Batchelorette party going on. Conduct tests of beer and whiskey supplies. Everyone in the place on staff knows nephew. Nephew brought up on stage along with batchelorette. Nephew is asked to play part of batchelor. Batchelorette is asked to play part of stripper and music starts. After a few minutes, roles are reversed. Nephew did a much better job of playing both his parts.
Sunday, 0100 - Leave Howl at the Moon, minus two casualties. Transport to Slippery Noodle. Eschew main stage, go to small stage area and sit right up up front with nephew and brother. Blues guitarist, bass and drum trio is playing. Blues guitarist turns out to be the best such I have ever heard live in my life. Tears it up for an hour. Buy CDs. Nephew at one point is blown right out of his chair. I assist in retrieval; brother can usually handle these things but in this case has been supplementing the various quality tests with a private whiskey supply and is somewhat impaired.
0130 - Mid-set, nephew disappears in order to achieve electrolyte balance. I accompany his as wingman and with some difficulty remove him from ladies' room and get him into the proper gate for unloading.
0200 - Set ends. Leave Slipery Noodle. Embark to Red Garter. Despite the name, no one in the staff is wearing a red garter. In fact, no one on the (female part of) the staff is wearing much of anything.
ReplyDelete0210 - Poker winners meet their obligations.
0230 - Nephew violates General Order 1 as laid down by brother - "Whatever you do, don't let the girls get you up on stage." In short order nephew is stripped down to underpants, set down on all fours with a dog collar and leash attached and is led around the stage by one of the girls while the other rides his back and slaps his a$$. Then the leash holder flips him on his back and the rider body slams him. Unfortunately the establishment has strict orders against video taping.
0245 - brother and nephew get led of by ladies to semi-private room. I accompany, ostensibly to make sure they don't do anything foolish but mainly because I want to watch.
0300 - Red Garter closes. We get outside, accompanies by male staff member who makes sure no one attempts to achieve electrolyte balance against the wall. We load up in the van.
0315 - Van arrives at White Castle. Purchase of 50 sliders is executed with alacrity by WC staff who apparently are used to this kind of thing.
0330 - Sliders consumed. I'm glad I don't have to clean that van out.
0345 - 0430 - Troop dropped off at domiciles. Brother and I are last, arriving at his house at 0430, about the time his wife, who has worked as a nurse et. al. for her whole life and has seen pretty much everything, normally gets up.
1000 - Apparently I got into bed AFTER taking my clothes off. Application for decoration to follow. Brother's wife prepares us breakfast. Application for decoration for brother's wife to follow. Drive home.
1200 - Wife calls to ensure I'm still alive. She says she'll be home herself about 0200.
0100 - Drive past church. Observe Pentecost picnic in progress. Decide to attend. Priest and Vestry members ask where I've been. Describe the above to Priest and Vestry members in detail. Told to keep it down so as not to offend children, mothers, Jesus and pretty much everyone. Fill up on hamburger, hot dog and carne asads (we have a Hispanic congregation as well).
0130 - Notice husband of couple we have not seen much of for long time. Engage in conversation. Find out he's about to leave because wife wants him home to assist in spring cleaning. Hand him beverage, suggest he stay put and conduct quality testing. Confer with dependable like-minded fellow congregation member. Drive to his house, kidnap wife and bring her to picnic.
0230 - Endurance staring to weaken. Drive home and describe the above to wife in detail. Wife compliments me on stamina. Work in yard and collapse in bed.
Mission accomplished. Casualities: 3 troops and innumerable brain cells. Job well done.
OHMYG*WD!
